At Knifehub, we believe Rockstead Knives are among the finest on the market, and the HIZEN exemplifies their dedication to craftsmanship and design. As the smallest folder in Rockstead's lineup, this used knife still offers the same premium quality and attention to detail that makes these knives so coveted.
 
The HIZEN features a 2.875" YXR7 DLC mirror-polished blade paired with lightweight, durable duralumin handles. The handle scales are connected with just two screws, allowing for easy disassembly and cleaning. The smooth opening action and solid frame lock ensure reliability and security during use, whether for everyday tasks or precision cutting.
 
The stunning mirror finish is achieved through Rockstead's meticulous process of heat treatment and gradual hand grinding through increasingly fine sandpaper grits—400, 600, 800, 1,200, and 2,000. This intensive and time-consuming technique ensures a flawless finish and an exceptionally sharp edge. Even as a pre-owned piece, this knife's beauty and functionality remain unparalleled.
 
Each Rockstead knife is individually numbered and includes a certificate of authenticity. With proper maintenance, Rockstead edges are renowned for their ability to stay sharp for 2-3 years, making them a standout choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
