ROCKSTEAD SHIN ZDP HONZUKURI

The Shin is a knife in which modern technology meets Japanese tradition.   The blade is ground in ‘Honzukuri’ style, after the Japanese katana. It’s a full convex grind, without a microbevel. The angle of the edge gradually gets thinner toward the tip. This way the knife is strong and thick, without comprising it’s sharpness.   It's handle is made of hard-anodized aluminium and features a stingray skin inlay. They have used this material in the handles of Japanese swords for centuries.   Shin means “trust” in Japanese, which seems fitting since they decided to trust their history and heritage with this model.   The Shin has a total length of 210mm. The blade is 90mm with a thickness of 3.7mm. It weighs 145 grams.
