Rockstead HIGO II X-CF-ZDP (SG) Japanese Folding Knife 3.5" ZDP-189 Mirror Finish Blade, Carbon Fiber Handles with Silver Gold Titanium Liners missing box and paperwork

HIGO II X-CF-ZDP (SG) - Silver Gold

Rockstead Knives are, in our opinion, some of the best knives available on the market. With Rockstead's meticulous craftsmanship and unique designs, this semi-custom folder is worth the premium price tag. The HIGO II folder features minor changes to the HIGO X design, mainly these beautiful carbon fiber scales. The blade is still 3.5" of ZDP-189 steel with a mirror finish and the best edge in the business. This knife has a blade angle of 30° near the half, and 24° near the top with one continuous, gradually reducing angle connecting them. This reducing blade angle is a product of Rockstead's continuing pursuit of superior sharpness. The opening action is smooth with a solid titanium 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. The HIGO II X-CF-ZDP comes with a right-hand, tip-up pocket clip and 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. You would be responsible for shipping charges to and from Japan.
