Rockstead Chi, ZDP-189
I bought this from the original owner advertised as BNIB, it was not BNIB when it came to me and I settled with the seller. I have the box and paperwork - looks like it came from the UK dealer Heinnie Haynes, list is about $1,000
The handles are precision machined Aluminum with a black surface Coating. Both sides have beautiful Stingray inlays for grip.
I've carried this a few times and cut some paper and fruit, I have a dozen folders in my carry rotation and no real need for them so they get very little use.
There are minor scratches on the mirror finish blade, the tanto tip is not intact. This is how it came to me.
Otherwise the knife is very very good and the blade was just touched up by richard J from bladeforums with his paper wheel and it is now hair shaving sharp.
Here is your chance to experience a Rockstead at a fantastic price, really impressive knives. I have 2 other Rockstead's so this one should be enjoyed by someone else.
