Rockstead KOU Folder SN 009

This blade is convex on both sides in the highly praised Japanese sword tradition. This shape is 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. Thanks to its convex shape, the blade will not bite or catch even when used for rigorous cutting. 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"KOU" in Japanese means "Merit, Success,& Achievement."

This Rockstead Shin feels and works more like a custom knife than many actual custom knives do. It works Perfect, Beautiful & Very Fine Fit and Finish, has great action (manual and flicking), and looks as good as it works.
