Rockstead knife is recognized as the factory custom knife. We employ both the use of advanced machining tools, and the craftsmanship of our eight man staff. Our craftsman hand-work the blade after the specular polishing process, providing the same high quality of work as can be expected in a true custom knife. Our factory custom knives are of a completely different quality to mass-produced knives.
This blade is convex on both sides in the tradition of the highly praised Japanese sword. This shape is both sharp and strong, and can still slice cleanly through a sheet of paper even after 1,000 cuts through a hemp rope. Using this special blade shape is an excellent way of allowing an edge to be thick without sacrificing any of its sharpness. This knife is of preeminent sharpness. This is a durable knife with strong cutting capabilities that will last for a long time. Even when used for rigorous cutting, the blade will not bite or catch thanks to its convex shape. Other knives will often bite or catch, and may acquire nicks if pulled out suddenly. This knife will scratch into a china plate so please do not use it to cut food on the plate.
信"SHIN" in Japanese means "trust".
