Description
The Rockstead HIGO Ⅱ X-FCF-ZDP (DMG) represents the absolute pinnacle of luxury everyday carry. Expertly crafted in Japan, this elite gentleman’s folder features a high-performance core of ZDP189 powder stainless steel clad with resilient VG10, hardened to an astonishing 67 HRC for unprecedented edge retention. Its meticulously engineered blade utilizes a varying angle transition to maximize slicing leverage and tip strength. The handle structure flawlessly pairs a robust titanium chassis with breathtaking Camo Dark Matter Green carbon fiber overlays, creating an organic, marbled aesthetic that catches the light beautifully. Outfitted with dual thumb studs and an impeccably tuned liner lock, the HIGO Ⅱ X delivers buttery-smooth deployment and zero-tolerance lockup. It is a masterpiece of cutting geometry, offering serious collectors the perfect fusion of heirloom-quality artistry and futuristic engineering.
Key Features
-
Ultra-Hard ZDP189 Clad Core (~67 HRC) Features a high-performance core of ZDP189 powder stainless steel clad with resilient VG10. Hardened to an astonishing 67 HRC, this blade offers industry-leading edge retention and superior lateral toughness, keeping its razor-sharp edge significantly longer than standard custom knives.
-
Varying Blade Angle Geometry Driven by an obsessive pursuit of the perfect cut, the blade profile features a continuous, progressive angle transition—decreasing from 30 degrees near the half to 24 degrees near the tip. This advanced engineering maximizes slicing leverage while preserving absolute tip strength.
-
Exquisite "Dark Matter Green" Carbon Fiber The titanium chassis is layered with stunning Camo Dark Matter Green (DMG) carbon fiber scales. This premium composite features an organic, marbled wave pattern infused with deep green hues, ensuring that no two handles look exactly alike.
-
Buttery-Smooth Liner Lock Action Equipped with dual thumb studs and an impeccably tuned liner lock mechanism, the HIGO Ⅱ X provides effortless, one-handed deployment and a rock-solid, zero-tolerance lockup you can rely on.
ZDP189 Blade Introduction
ZDP-189 is a high-carbon, high-chromium powder metallurgy steel renowned for its extreme hardness, often exceeding 64 HRC, which delivers peerless edge retention and aggressive cutting performance. This performance comes at a cost; its massive carbide volume makes the steel notoriously difficult to sharpen and increases brittleness, posing a risk of chipping under heavy lateral impact. Furthermore, while technically stainless, its high carbon content necessitates diligent maintenance to prevent oxidation, making it a specialized choice for precision cutting tasks rather than rough, heavy-duty utility.
These are additional model of the HIGOⅡX. In this model use carbon fiber with titanium handles. It was added to two kind of carbon puttern CG (Camo Gold) and DMG (Dark Matter Gold).

FAQ Section
Q1: What makes the "DMG" handle finish unique?
A: "DMG" stands for Camo Dark Matter Green. Unlike standard weave carbon fiber, Dark Matter Green features a stunning, marbled composite pattern infused with deep green hues. Because the patterns flow organically during manufacturing, every single handle scale is entirely unique, making your knife a true one-of-a-kind collector's item.
Q2: Why does Rockstead use a clad (San Mai) ZDP189 blade?
A: Rockstead clads the ultra-hard ZDP189 core steel with outer layers of VG10 steel. This provides the best of both worlds: the ZDP189 core gives the edge a mind-boggling 67 HRC hardness for incredible sharpness, while the VG10 jackets add crucial lateral toughness and flexibility, ensuring the blade isn't brittle.
Q3: How do I access sharpening and maintenance for this knife?
A: Due to the varying blade angle and extreme hardness, you should never use standard sharpening stones on a Rockstead. Every knife comes with an individual serial number. Register your knife on Rockstead's official website to activate their Lifetime Warranty and Free Factory Resharpening Service.
