Rockstead CHI-ZDP Folding Knife

The Rockstead CHI-ZDP folding knife boasts a 3.25" blade made from VG10-clad ZDP-189 steel with a mirror finish and dual thumb studs. Its opening action is incredibly smooth, with a liner lock that ensures secure blade retention. The mirror finish is achieved through a precise, hand-grinding process, working through grits of 400, 600, 800, 1,200, and 2,000 wet-dry sandpaper. This meticulous process is time-intensive, as any scratches require returning to a previous step for refinishing. The blade is buffed once the process is complete for a final, flawless finish. Rockstead’s expertise shines in this process, delivering an unparalleled edge and polish.

The aluminum handle incorporates stingray inlays for enhanced grip and feels solid and comfortable. It features a tip-up, deep pocket carry clip and a wooden box, and a certificate of authenticity, with each knife individually numbered. With proper care, Rockstead knives are known to hold a sharp edge for 2-3 years.
