FOR SALE
Rockstead Kou ZDP - USED - £295 (N.B. Price is STERLING not US dollar!)
I have had this knife for 18 months now, and it has been a stellar performer. I bought this knife to use, and it shows - the knife has been sharpened twice by me on a wicked edge (so it has a secondary bevel rather than the factory standard convex grind) and the excellent mirror finish on the blade has dulled considerably, although it is still very reflective and attractive. The duraluminium handle also has a few nicks and chips, but is in good condition considering I have carried and used this knife nearly every day since I got it. The opening is smooth and the liner lock has a fabulous action that feels as good as it ever did despite being opened god knows how many times, but then you'd expect that level of quality with a Rockstead.
Be under no illusions: this knife is NOT in new condition, it HAS been used and sharpened, so don't expect it to be an immaculate, factory fresh knife - you have been warned! But what you'll be buying is, I feel, justification of the hype surrounding Rockstead knives. You can use them everyday and the quality really is top class, they are definitely not just heirloom showpieces.
I have the original box and paperwork with the knife. I never got around to registering it, so feel free to do that when you receive it.
Please note: I am based in the UK, so international shipping will cost extra. UK shipping is free. Currency conversion will be calculated at standard PayPal rates.
