Roselli x SAKO – Crafting heritage in walnut and steel

Roselli x SAKO – Crafting heritage in walnut and steel

Some collaborations are born from shared values, others from shared soil. The partnership between Roselli and SAKO is both.

When one of the world’s most respected rifle manufacturers, Finland’s own SAKO, wanted to offer a premium knife to their discerning customers, they turned to us. The request was clear: the knife had to match the quality, craftsmanship, and heritage of their rifles. And it had to be made in Finland. We understood the assignment.

Inspired by SAKO’s model 90 Bavarian

Our collaborative knife is a tribute to SAKO’s legendary model 90 Bavarian. This rifle is admired for its walnut stock and distinct pistol grip cap, two features that became the foundation of our knife’s design. To create a sense of harmony, we crafted the knife handle from SAKO’s own premium walnut, the same high-quality wood used in their rifle stocks. The ferrule at the end of the handle mirrors the signature SAKO grip cap, forging a visual link between knife and firearm. The result is a knife that doesn’t just belong next to a SAKO, it becomes a natural extension of it.

Handmade in Finland, for a lifetime in the field

Both Roselli and SAKO take immense pride in their Finnish heritage. This knife is handmade at our workshop in Harmoinen, made from Roselli’s premium carbon steel, known for its sharpness, durability, and ease of maintenance in demanding outdoor conditions. This is not a mass-produced knife. It's a collector’s piece that’s made to be used again and again, year after year.

Where performance meets craft

In this collaboration, we’ve fused two traditions: SAKO’s precision in firearms engineering and Roselli’s mastery of handcraft. The walnut handle adds not only beauty, but also heritage, each piece telling its own grain-bound story. The knife-making developed and perfected over decades, adds beauty and functionality. This knife is not just a companion in the forest, it is a piece of Nordic craft, built for those who value quality, performance, and tradition.
