Description

RSRENZDPDMB: REN-ZDP (DMB) - Dark Matter Black FatCarbon

Rockstead

The REN model has proven itself as a standout release from Rockstead, immediately establishing a reputation for exceptional execution and performance. The blade shape is a "Tanto-Honzukuri" or a "Tanto-convex" blade shape. As you know, they make the "Tanto" blade shape with the CHI model, but this blade shape is "Tanto-Shinogizukuri". That means straight grind. There are only a few knife makers who make this kind of blade shape, but we have never seen a "Tanto-Honzukuri" with a mirror-polished surface. The handle is a combination of Dark Matter Black FatCarbon for the presentation scale with a titanium frame lock, allowing for excellent weight and balance. It may not look like your prototypical Rockstead, but the REN is one of the best-performing knives produced anywhere in the world.

With proper maintenance, Rocksteads are known to keep a sharp edge for 2-3 years. Rockstead Knives do come with free sharpening and regrinding. You would be responsible for shipping charges to and from Japan.
