Handmade Finnish fillet knives for precision by the water
For nearly 50 years, Roselli’s Finnish fishing and fillet knives have been trusted by anglers, outdoor cooks and wilderness enthusiasts who value precision and control when working with fresh fish. Handmade in Finland, each blade is crafted to deliver smooth, clean cuts whether you are preparing your catch at a mountain lake, river shore or cabin by the sea. Designed for dependable outdoor use, a Roselli fillet knife gives you confidence in every cut, from delicate perch and trout to pike, zander and salmon.
Finnish craftsmanship built for real outdoor use
Every Roselli knife from Finland is handmade in our small workshop in Harmoinen. We use traditional Nordic knife-making methods that focus on function, strength and simplicity. Each blade is individually ground for lasting sharpness, and each handle is shaped from curly birch treated with linseed oil for a natural, secure grip even when wet. Built with purpose and simplicity, our fishing knives are trusted by those who value tools made for real outdoor use, functional, dependable and long-lasting.
Two blade lengths, which fillet knife fits your catch?
Roselli offers two fillet knives designed for different types of fish and techniques.
Small Fillet knife (12 cm)
Lightweight and precise, this knife is ideal for smaller fish such as perch, whitefish and trout. The slim, flexible blade offers excellent control along the bone, making it easy to produce clean fillets with minimal waste. Its compact size makes it easy to handle whether you are cleaning fish at the shore, in a boat or at home. Made from Ultra High Carbon (UHC) steel, it delivers exceptional sharpness and long-lasting edge performance.
Big Fillet knife (19 cm)
A longer blade for larger fish in the 2–3 kg range such as pike, salmon and zander. Offers excellent slicing power while still being flexible enough for accuracy. Made for anglers who want efficiency when processing bigger catches. Also supplied with a handcrafted vegetable-tanned leather sheath made in Finland.
UHC fillet knives for precision, premium carbon steel knives for outdoor durability
Roselli fishing knives are available in two steel options to match your needs.
-
Ultra High Carbon (UHC) steel – Our hardest and sharpest steel. Contains micro carbides that give the blade extreme edge retention. Ideal for clean, precise filleting and long-term performance outdoors.
