    SHIN in Japanese means ‘trust’.

    The SHIN is one of the largest folders in the Rockstead catalog and showcases all the typical and characteristic elements of the brand: aluminum handle with a pearl-radiant design, hardened anodization at 400 Vickers, and an insert of high-quality stingray leather (Samekawa).

    This is a durable knife with strong cutting capabilities that maintains its edge for a long time. Even when used for rigorous cuts, the blade glides securely thanks to its particular sharpening.

    The blade indeed has a HONZUKURI sharpening, convex on both sides, following the tradition of Japanese swords; this makes it both very sharp and sturdy, allowing it to cleanly cut a sheet of paper even after 1000 cuts through a very abrasive and resistant hemp rope.

    A faithful companion for life, in which to place the utmost trust.


    Blade: laminated stainless steel ZDP189 at 67HRC internally and VG10 at 61.7HRC externally
    Handle: samekawa (genuine stingray leather) and aerospace-grade aluminum A6063S with black alumite treatment at 400Hv hardness
    Blade length: 95mm.
    Blade thickness: 4mm.
