The Rockstead BEETLE is a legendary model that represents one of the first series-production designs from Rockstead, making it a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts. This used knife retains the exceptional craftsmanship and cutting-edge performance Rockstead is renowned for.
The BEETLE features a SHINOGIZUKURI blade shape, a traditional Japanese geometry that transitions through several stages to the cutting edge. This design is a precursor to the HONZUKURI blade shape and showcases the artistry and functionality of Japanese blade-making traditions.
Available in both left-handed and right-handed variants, the BEETLE series was limited to just 300 pieces per variant, making this a rare find for any knife aficionado. Despite being pre-owned, the knife maintains Rockstead's hallmark precision and beauty, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of their history.
