Rockstead HIGO X-IW-ZDP 3.5" Polished ZDP189 Folding Knife with Ironwood Handle

Rockstead factory custom knives (Sakai, Japan) are known to be among the finest in the world https://www.rockstead.jp/making

This knife is a flagship of our HIGO series. The ZDP189 blade can cut Manila rope 1,000 times, and still slices cleanly through paper. This knife has a blade angle of 30 degrees near the haft, and 24 degrees near the tip with one continuous, gradually reducing angle connecting them. This reducing blade angle is a product of Rockstead's continuing pursuit of superior sharpness. This knife is of preeminent sharpness. The blade will only maintain a permanent shine through regular wiping. The scales are attached by two screws, and so after cutting fish or wild game, the knife is easy to dismantle and clean. Comes with a leather belt pouch.

肥後"HIGO" in Japanese means "the old name of the "kyushu" district in Japan".
