The HIGO-II knife is designed with titanium handles that have a DLC coating. It comes in two different handle finishes: a shiny finish (S) and a matted finish (M). The blade of this knife is made from ZDP189, which is incredibly sharp and can cut through Manila rope approximately 1,000 times. It can also effortlessly slice through a sheet of paper. The blade has a 30-degree angle near the half and a 24-degree angle near the tip. These angles are connected by a gradually reducing angle, which is a result of Rockstead's continuous pursuit of achieving superior sharpness.
