Ultra Sharp Blade

This is the sharpest blade I have ever seen. It is scary sharp and has a awesome mirror polish to it. Made in Japan by some really dedicated knifemakers. The fit and finish is as good or better than most hand made knives and the price is certainly justified by the quality of this knife. Also has nice leather sheath and tool to take knife apart for cleaning if desired. Should last a lifetime.

Just a whole new experience

I hesitated before I pulled the trigger to purchase this knife. How do I justify this purchase? The more I pondered, the less I was prone to purchase one. Then I had the opportunity to handle one and I was astonished with the fit and finish, the ergonomics, the beauty and the ungodly sharpness of a Rockstead knife. When I received this Higo with the iron wood handle I was not disappointed. It is hard to believe that this is a production knife. It is more impressive than any of my custom knives. And it cuts better than any knife I have ever handled. This is a whole new experience. I cannot be more delighted.

Stunning!

I am hesitant to do anything other than sit, handle and admire this knife. I have a large collection of custom and high end production knives, but this beauty has risen to the top of the list after only one day of handling it.

Simply Gorgeous

I did mull over spending this much money for the Higo, but I am glad I did. This is a beautifully made EDC. It's a pleasure to hold and use. The quality of this knife surpasses that of most any custom-made knife I own. I highly recommend it. The staff at knifecenter.com (Tom, to be specific) was wonderful to work with. Great customer service.

Superb folding knife

Excellent and perfect folding knife. Super design and very good material. The blade (sharpness) is also excellent. It's a pure pleasure to have it in my Hands, to open it and also of course to use it.

OMG

What a work of art this knife is. This is my first Rockstead knife and what a choice. It's so nice that i am not sure i want to use it. The Japanese knife makers take serious pride in their products. BRAVO.
