Rockstead SHIN-DLC Japanese Folding Knife 3.5 YXR7 DLC Polished Blade, Aluminum

  

He Rockstead Knives are, in our opinion, some of the best production knives available on the market. With Rockstead's meticulous craftsmanship and unique designs, this semi-custom folder is worth the premium price tag. The SHIN is the larger version of the Rockstead KOU. It features a 3.5 YXR7 DLC polished blade and aluminum handles with stingray inlays. The opening action is smooth with a solid liner lock to securely keep the blade locked in place.

The incredible mirror finish is achieved by heat treating the blade and gradually hand grinding through 400, 600, 800, 1,200 and 2,000 grits wet-dry sandpaper. This is very intense and time-consuming because if any scratches were to occur during this process, the blade must be sent back to the previous step for refinishing. Once this is complete, the blade will be buffed for the final finish. The folks at Rockstead have mastered this process to give the knife a beautiful finish and sharp edge like no other.

Each knife is individually numbered and includes a certificate of authenticity. With proper maintenance, Rocksteads are known to keep a sharp edge for 2-3 years. Rockstead Knives come with free sharpening and regrinding. Be sure to register your Rockstead Knife here. Blade Material: YXR7 Carbon Steel. Blade Hardness: 65 HRC (approximate).
