Love my UHC bearclaw. For wood carving, it is pretty good, takes and holds a great edge. I also use a Mora laminated 82mm blade, which has a lower profile, so is more versatile. The O1 in the Mora is good enough for all whittling, including Aus hardwoods.

The HC Wootz Steel - Roselli-Bearclaw is one of my favorite knives for woodcarving. I sharpen with a 1200 DMT diamond stone and then strop. No problem with the edge chipping even when doing rough out work on American hardwoods-such as sugar maple, hickory and ash. Nice review of one of my favorite knives. You should purchase the woodworker-I have one in the non UHC steel. Love it.

I am using an roselli with uhc steel for about 10 years now. The edge retention is beyond everything I have seen so far. Usually I just do some leather stropes after a weekend of high usage to bring it back to shaving sharpness. I heard these special pulverized cpm steels could hold an edge even better, but I didn't have the chance to test that yet.

I've got the large hunter model, and it's a rare beauty. Personally, I just love the Wootz Damascus story, and it's influence on all the "magic sword" stories down thru the ages. During the Crusades it was such an incredibly frightening reality to Europeans, and started a metallurgy arms race that lasted for hundreds of years. I now search the Internet for knives made by Al Pendray ( the modern rediscoverer of the lost production secrets of Wootz Damascus) for my collection. IMO, Al Pendray & John Verhoeven are as important to the history of Wootz Damascus as the material itself.

@kameelelian6044 2 жыл бұрын

I have the uhc hunter and it's by far my favorite knife just ordered the carpenter blade and will put a handle on it myself. I thought with the carbon being at 1.5 to 2% that put the Rockwell at 66 to 68 .

The UHC steel for me is a small miracle. A Roselli Carpenter UHC is my "Linus' security blanket" in all my trekkings and outdoor activities since 14 Years. Even in heavy use it stays sharp much longer than any other blade that I tried. P.S. The only thing that I don't cut with it is the garlic, because the flavor of the steel is transferred to the vegetable. 😂

Carbon Steels tend to flavor certain things when you cut food. Otter in Solignen recommends to not cut foodstuffs above 40C when using their C75 carbon blades

Five month update. I've been carving with this quite a bit, as well as doing some 'drilling' with the tip. I have done a couple of passes on a ceramic rod once, but other than that it's only required a strop. Great steel imho.

I have a test for you... Can you do a full rope cut test with a super steel that takes well to stropping, and see how long it cuts the rope and still slices paper after being stropped back. Some folks say that stropping is not good because of degradation of the apex once the absolute has been blunted. Just curious to see how long it will last on a second go round. I know your arm will hate me after this test, but your curiosity might make you inclined to try this. I know mine would... thanks for all the amazing videos! Keep up the good work!

@dooshlerd 5 жыл бұрын

I've done what you're asking but in a less scientific setting, and I can say that stropped edges will usually yield a slightly worse edge retention, but with proper technique the difference will likely fall just outside the margin of error. I'd say like 10% difference, if that much. Pretty insignificant. A much more tangible difference I've found is using diamond compounds and stones for vanadium or tungsten carbide steels. Softer abrasives (anything below CBN) lead to less supported carbides in the apex, which causes tear out or deformation.

I have two Lauri Progressive Temper blades and guards to go with them. They are HRC 63 and are for wood carving as well and considerably less expensive as the Roselli.

Wootz or Damascus steel was the most highly prized steel in the world in the middle ages. The exact manufacturing process has been lost so Roselli's steel while very good, isn't actually wootz.

@jasonburns956 5 жыл бұрын

Grey Holm if it's been lost there's nothing to suggest definitely it's not who's to say he hasn't figured it out (or something similar)the best steels back then probably wouldn't be a patch on what available now and it looks like a good result for a basic steel

@BradGryphonn 5 жыл бұрын

The original Wootz was apparently much softer. Roselli has changed it to be somewhat harder.

@daeholm 5 жыл бұрын

@@jasonburns956 Wootz has a very distinctive swirled patterning which is it's hallmark. The ore came from a few specific mines in India and was produced with a crucible process and was very pure for the time. It was the best steel of its age and highly prized but isn't nearly as good as modern steels. The Roselli is a much better steel but it's isn't wootz is all I'm saying.

@dooshlerd 5 жыл бұрын

@@daeholm that's actually not true. Real Damascus steel, not modern pattern welded steel, was made with a process we don't fully understand today. A recent test of a Damascus blade shows that the steel has a microstructure with carbon nanotubes, something we can't even reliably or economically produce today. Real Damascus steel was the stuff of legend for a reason. That said, modern hyper steels like Rex 121 for edge retention or 3V for toughness now likely match or exceed what true Damascus was capable of (but it was doing this over 1000 years ago). Stuff like LC200N would be viewed as absolute witchcraft, so modern processes have obvious advantages.

@RJ-vb7gh Жыл бұрын

To be fair from what I read most wootz swords weren't actually that hard. It's way better for a blade to flex or even bend than break in combat. But even with the softer steel the irregular carbides maintained a very sharp edge. I won't go into how beautiful those swords were. As to usefulness, I'm sure such blades are as good as they ever were but compared to some of the modern super steels, they are more of a novelty than something I'd take out woodscrafting on a long slog through a rainforest.
