Rockstead RIN-ZDP (RD) - 1 only
Search By Category
Rockstead Knives are, in our opinion, among the best knives available on the market. With Rockstead's meticulous craftsmanship and unique designs, this semi-custom folder justifies its premium price tag. The RIN knife, uniquely crafted and inspired by the traditional Japanese "NAGURI" processing technique, draws from the architectural beauty of Japanese houses, castles, temples, and shrines, embodying the rich heritage of Japanese woodworking.
The innovation lies in the 'concealed clip system,' enabling smooth up-and-down movement for unparalleled functionality. Originally designed to eliminate the discomfort often associated with traditional handles, this system ensures a seamless grip without the awkward 'clip feel.' In adherence to the highest standards of intellectual property, Rockstead secured licensing for the concealed clip system, overcoming conflicts with US patents through negotiations with the esteemed US patent owner, Mr. Joseph Caswell of Caswell Knives. Elevate your culinary experience with a blend of Japanese tradition and modern convenience embodied in the NAGURI-inspired RIN today. Notably, 'RIN' in Japanese means 'dignified,' adding an extra layer of significance to the artistry of this exceptional knife.
With proper maintenance, Rocksteads are known to keep a sharp edge for 2-3 years. Rockstead Knives come with free sharpening and regrinding. You would be responsible for shipping charges to and from Japan.
