The Rockstead CHI 123 is more than just a knife; it’s a work of art designed for collectors and everyday carry enthusiasts who value performance, precision, and beauty. This meticulously crafted knife is a testament to Rockstead's unwavering commitment to quality and attention to detail.

 

Unparalleled Blade Craftsmanship

The CHI 123 features a 3.23-inch HLT571 blade with an exquisite mirror finish that showcases Rockstead’s signature craftsmanship. Achieving this finish involves a painstaking process:

  • The blade undergoes heat treatment and gradual hand grinding through 400, 600, 800, 1,200, and 2,000 grit wet-dry sandpaper.
  • Any scratches during the process require the blade to be sent back to earlier steps for refinishing.
  • After hand grinding, the blade is carefully buffed for its final polish, resulting in an edge and finish unlike any other.

 

With a hardness of approximately 65 HRC, the blade maintains an incredibly sharp edge, capable of lasting 2-3 years with proper maintenance.

 

Luxurious and Functional Handle Design

The aluminum handle is enhanced with a stingray inlay, providing a unique texture that improves grip and adds an air of sophistication. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable, secure hold, making it as functional as it is beautiful.

 

Smooth Action and Reliable Locking

The CHI 123 features an incredibly smooth opening action, facilitated by precision engineering. The liner lock ensures the blade stays securely in place during use, offering both safety and reliability.

 

Every Detail Matters

Each Rockstead CHI 123 is individually numbered, making it a truly unique piece. The knife comes with a wooden presentation box and a certificate of authenticity, underscoring its exclusivity and craftsmanship. It also includes a deep carry, tip-up pocket clip for practicality in everyday carry.
