Rockstead Knowledge Thread

Can anyone tell me the difference between the Rockstead SHU CB-ZDP and the Rockstead SHU C-ZDP. The description on the website that I saw both on appears to be the same but the handles on the Rockstead SHU CB-ZDP look a bit more muted. I checked the Rockstead website I don't see any mention of the Rockstead SHU CB-ZDP version.

The CB has a DLC coated handle, and the C is raw titanium.

Ah Ok, thanks. So I would take it it looks a bit muted but it wouldn't knick or scratch as easily as the raw titanium handle?

It would look like this:D

It has a bit of shine to it like the duralumin handles. And yes, it should not scratch as easy as raw ti.

Fabulous, thanks for that this certainly is a lot better than the pictures I've been able to find to this point.

No problem!

FWIW, I think the DLC version takes away from the tree engraving. The C has nice contrast between the engraving and the rest of the handle, making the tree really "pop":)
