Das Rockstead HIGO II X-CF-ZDP (BL) ist der überarbeitete, moderne Nachfolger des ursprünglichen HIGO X Taschenmessers von Rockstead. Die spiegelpolierte Klinge aus ZDP189 Stahl hat eine Härte von ca. 66-67 HRC. Die Klingenlänge beträgt 89 mm, die Klingenstärke 3,1 mm und die Klingenhöhe < 2,5 cm. Bei der neueren Version werden Titanliner in blaumetallic (auch in silbergoldmetallic erhältlich) verbaut und mit Carbon Griffschalen versehen. Die wichtigste Neuerung zum älteren Higo X Modell ist der nun am Messer angebrachte Gürtelclip. Lieferung erfolgt inkl. Zertifikat, Geschenkbox aus Kiriholz und Garantie. Die Klinge hat in der Mitte einen Schnittwinkel von ca. 30° und verjüngt sich zur Spitze zu einem Schnittwinkel von 24°. Dies ergibt ein rasiermesserscharfen Schnitt. Im Video ist diese Schnitthaltigkeit eindrucksvoll zu sehen. (Hier wird ein Manila-Hanfseil mit ca. 3 cm Durchmesser 1000 x durchtrennt und das Messer schneidet weiterhin problemlos Papier). Aufgrund der spiegelpolierten Schneide sollte man diese, um den Effekt zu erhalten, regelmäßig mit einem Poliertuch (wir empfehlen hierfür das Flitz Microfasertuch Artikel #650003) pflegen. Die Griffschalen können mit dem mitgeliefertem TORX zur Reinigung demontiert/montiert werden. Der TORX ist übrigens sicher in der Geschenkverpackung aus japanischem Kiriholz verstaut.
