Rockstead knives

The ROCKSTEAD knife, with its superior cutting performance, is the Formula One of knives. It has three special features :
1.The blade shape is unique. We adapted the shape of the traditional Japanese sword blade to our knife. The two basic shapes are known as the HONZUKURI and KATAKIRIBA. We have made the KATAKIRIBA style for several years, and have recently introduced the HONZUKURI style. Both are excellent blade shapes based on our research of the time-tested traditional Japanese sword. They have the two most important features of a quality blade ? strength and cutting ability.
2. The mirror surface on our knife goes continuously to the edge of the blade. After comparing photomicrographs the difference becomes apparent. The tip of the blade of ROCKSTEAD is smooth, while other knives are more like the tip of a saw blade.
3. YXR7 steel is a material that is not easy to make into a knife. However, its high hardness and high toughness make it an excellent choice as a cutlery steel material. Its one fault is that it rusts somewhat easily. However, when it was coated with DLC and given a mirror finish to make up for this fault, the added benefit of a permanent beauty was obtained.
