Roselli R850 Long Handle Axe

Traditional Craftsmanship with Serious Splitting Power: The Roselli R850 Axe

Built for demanding camp work, wood processing, and backcountry utility, the Roselli R850 Axe combines a distinctive wedge-shaped carbon steel head with the added leverage of a long 18-inch birch handle. Its thoughtful Finnish design goes beyond basic chopping, creating a versatile tool capable of efficient splitting as well as controlled shaving and carving when more precise work is required.

Thoughtful Design & Materials

Carbon Steel Head: Crafted from hardened carbon steel for excellent edge performance, strength, and durability through demanding outdoor use.

18-Inch Birch Handle: The extended wooden handle provides additional leverage and allows comfortable one- or two-handed use depending on the task.

Thick Wedge-Shaped Blade: The substantial blade geometry is designed to separate wood efficiently while reducing the likelihood of the axe becoming deeply lodged during splitting.

Approximately 60 HRC Hardness: The hardened steel provides the edge retention and cutting performance expected from a purpose-built outdoor axe.

Vegetable-Tanned Leather Sheath: An included leather sheath protects the blade during storage and transport while complementing the axe's traditional materials.

Performance You Can Rely On

Increased Chopping Leverage: The longer handle generates additional leverage for more powerful swings when processing larger pieces of wood.

Efficient Wood Splitting: The thick wedge profile helps drive sections of wood apart rather than allowing the blade to become easily trapped within the cut.

One- or Two-Handed Control: The 18-inch handle provides flexibility for controlled single-handed work or additional two-handed power when needed.

Balanced Trail Utility: At approximately 1 pound, 9 ounces, the R850 provides substantial chopping capability without the size and weight of a traditional full-length axe.

Built for More Than Chopping

Integrated Blade Cutout: The distinctive opening in the axe head provides space to position your hand closer to the cutting edge for more controlled detail work.

Shaving & Carving Capability: The rounded head profile behind the cutout allows a closer grip when shaping wood, preparing kindling, or completing other controlled camp tasks.

Versatile Camp Tool: From splitting firewood and processing kindling to shelter-building and general woodcraft, the R850 is designed to handle a broad range of backcountry jobs.

Traditional Natural Materials: Carbon steel, birch, and vegetable-tanned leather give the axe a straightforward, enduring construction designed around function rather than unnecessary complexity.
