The Rockstead KEI 052 Blue is our most practical sheath knife—compact, durable, and designed with serious outdoor use in mind. Its manageable size makes it an ideal companion for camping, bushcraft, or general utility work in the field.

The blade features a dual-convex Honzukuri profile, hand-finished for both precision and strength. Forged from ZDP189, a high-performance powdered stainless steel developed using nanotechnology, this knife holds an exceptional edge. In testing, it maintained sharpness even after slicing through tough manila rope 780 times—a testament to its cutting efficiency.

While it excels at slicing and fine control tasks, it's not intended for heavy chopping. Still, it stands as a showcase of craftsmanship and cutting-edge steel technology.

Please enjoy the enduring beauty and performance of this completed blade.
