Rockstead Higo X-IW-DLC Ironwood (HONZUKURI) vouwmes

Beschrijving

This knife is the flagship knife of Rockstead HIGO series.
After cutting and chopping dried bamboo or, through manila rope 350 times, this blade is still able to slice through a sheet of 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 sharpness.
This knife is of preeminent sharpness.
The only draw back to the steel used in this knife, is that it has a lower tolerance to rust, and so the blade functions best if it is wiped after each use.
This is a durable knife with strong cutting capabilities that will last for a long time.
The scales are attached by two screws, and so after cutting fish or wild game, the knife is easy to dismantle and clean.

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