At a single glance, you can immediately tell that a ROCKSTEAD knife stands in a class of its own. The blade has a breathtaking, flawlessly clear mirror finish; its perfect curves are beyond what human hands can achieve. It is no exaggeration to say there is no higher-quality knife than this. The blade is made of high-hardness YXR7 high-carbon high-speed steel and protected by a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, achieving high hardness, low friction, and excellent wear resistance. Videos circulated online show it being used to repeatedly strike bamboo without even a single chip in the edge. The CHOU is a knife inspired by the Japanese traditional weapon, the naginata. It is the simplest and smallest neck knife in the ROCKSTEAD lineup. Once you hold it in your hand, you will understand its value. - Overall length: 120 mm - Blade length: 45 mm - Weight: 57 g - Blade: YXR7 with DLC coating / approx. 65 HRC - Handle: Etched (plum) - Includes Kydex sheath **Notes (Made-to-order):** - As this is a made-to-order product, the delivery date will be provided for each order. - The stated delivery date is only an estimate and may be delayed by up to about three months.
