One of the World’s Famous Knives – Rockstead

Rockstead is a high-end Japanese knife brand. In terms of its overall style, it resembles the Japanese short sword quite a bit. However, compared to the traditional Japanese short sword, it incorporates more modern knife designs, blending the beauty of traditional handicrafts with that of modern machinery. All Rockstead knives are ground by hand step by step. Besides being extremely sharp, they also have a mirror-like finish, and the hardness of the blade material is quite high. What’s more, you may not know that actually the brand isn’t really named “Huatianyang” (in Chinese pinyin). Its real name is Rockstead, a Japanese local company. It’s just that the sales manager of the company is named Yoshikazu Hanada. Since he often participates in knife exhibitions abroad, over time and out of habit, many people have come to call it “Huatianyang” instead.
