The Rockstead HIGO II in titanium is not simply a high-end folding knife: it is the ultimate embodiment of Japanese philosophy applied to cutting, where every detail is pushed to the limits of perfection.

The minimalist, flawless titanium handle serves as a counterpoint to a ZDP-189 blade hardened to extreme hardness and finished with an almost unreal mirror polish. The result is not merely aesthetic: it is a living surface, capable of gliding through material with a smoothness and continuity that few knives in the world can offer.

Rockstead’s proprietary convex geometry does more than just cut: it separates, controls, and guides. It is a blade designed for those who recognize the difference between extreme sharpness and true long-term efficiency.

The HIGO II is an object for connoisseurs, where tolerances, treatments, and finishes are not mere technical specifications, but part of a precise language.

The SPEAR is a versatile knife designed for everyday carry (EDC) and sporting activities. Manufactured with industrial precision in China, it stands out for its high-hardness D2 steel blade (59-61 HRC), finely satin-finished to ensure strength and durability.

The elegant zebra wood handle, with stainless steel liners, combines refined aesthetics and functionality, ensuring a comfortable and secure grip. Its incredibly low weight of only 70 grams makes it particularly practical to carry and use every day. The 70 mm blade and 3 mm thickness offer an excellent balance between compactness and strength, while the Liner Lock closure ensures maximum safety during use.

The knife is opened using the Carson Flipper system, supported by ball bearings for smooth and quick action. The design is completed by a removable and practical 420 stainless steel pocket clip, perfect for comfortable and discreet carrying.
