From Rockstead: The HIZEN‑ZDP is the compact counterpart to the HIGO, sharing its precision engineering and cutting performance. Designed for effortless maintenance and everyday usability, the HIZEN delivers elite sharpness through Rockstead’s signature tapered blade geometry—30 degrees at the mid‑section transitioning to 24 degrees toward the tip. This smooth, continuous angle showcases Rockstead’s pursuit of perfect sharpness and cutting efficiency.

The Duralumin handle keeps the knife lightweight yet strong, making the HIZEN exceptionally comfortable in hand. Its cutting ability, durability, and edge longevity are hallmarks of Rockstead craftsmanship.


“HIZEN” refers to an old provincial name within the Kyushu region of Japan (the historic “Nine Provinces” of Tsukushi).
