Rockstead Knowledge Thread

[The Aflac Duck]

I'm not familiar with his work. I'll have to take some time and research him. Thanks for that!

No problem! Dmitry has also done collaborations with the Shirogorov's, such as the CannaBis. He's a Russian maker and his work is extremely rare over here in the states; when you find it, it's $$$$$$$$.

I can see why Rockstead wanted to have Dmtry work on the Shun.

A look at his work pretty much says it all. Impressive detail. http://sinkevichdesign.ru/en/

This is why I love this forum. People like yourself sharing knowledge. It's a never ending and exciting area of discussion.

Indeed! I have contacted him several time about having a custom Cardinator made, but I've never heard back and it's probably been over a year!

I love my 0454, it's the only ZT I'll ever consider carrying

Dmitry Sinkevich is actually Belarusian, not Russian.

Yes, you're right! Close enough

The Shun's blade kind of looks like a modified Sinkevich design Shirogorov Techno Bamboo blade:

Picked up #128 at the New York show last weekend. Happy I could pick one up direct from Rockstead. Here's a picture and the Rockstead weather forcast........blue skies with some clouds mixed in......

The DLC handle really makes the blue post pop!

It's a great design [emoji106][emoji106]

That Techno Bamboo is similar......even has blue stand offs. Nice find.

I really want to see a photo of a Shun next to a 454....

Congrats!! I couldn't make the show. Curious if vendors charged NJ sales tax?

Hey folks,

Friend lent me his Hizen ZDP for a couple of days and like any good gateway drug, it launched me into a desperate hunt for a Rockstead of my own. At roughly 3x the cost of the most expensive knife I've ever bought, I was worried I'd have buyer's remorse. Nope. $765 well spent!

Beautiful Hizen ZDP, Kase.

Welcome to the Rockstead club!

Great pics Buddy. Welcome aboard. Carving Turkey this year is going to be a little different, huh?

Pruning made easy.

Hey Shun dudes!

Does Rocky give you a little wrench for disassembly with those knives? As far as I know, only the Hizen and Higo can be disassembled under warranty.

Thanks folks! I can't stop staring and playing with this HIGO DLC!
