About the Maker
Rockstead
The majority of our production is done through the use of high specification NC machines of which we have several, with the skilled engineers to operate them. We use a wide variety of machines and techniques in the production of our precision knives including our machining centers, wire cutting machines, precision flat-surface grinding machines and NC lathes. Here at Rockstead, we specialize in high tolerance parts manufacturing. In addition to our high-specification machines, we have developed our own highly specialized proprietary machines of which some are tasked with ensuring an unparalleled level of quality control. Our commitment to producing the highest quality knives available can be felt in the smoothness of operation of our pivot mechanism.
Sinkevich, Dmitry
In my opinion, a knife can be both a work tool and an art-object and it is terrific if it is possible to combine unconventional design with utility. In knifemaking I give preference to high quality corrosion-resistant stainless steels, titanium, modern laminates: carbon fiber and G10 as well as fine woods.
Hinderer, Rick
In the mid 1980’s Rick Hinderer began his knife making journey making art knives in a small 14′ x 18′ turkey coop with none of the modern amenities, like heat or running water! Art knives are a far cry from the tactical scene which Rick is so deeply entrenched in now. Over the years his meticulous attention to knife design and knife making, coupled with his real world experience as a Fire Fighter / EMT sets him apart from the rest. Rick’s design philosophy is deeply rooted in his experience with using his knives as part of his first responder tools. That catalyst of change from art knives to hard use tactical was after Rick joined the rescue dive team. He really began to look at knives and designs more as hard use tactical tools than works of art. Rick began changing over from old world knife making techniques to modern CNC precision manufacturing. With the combination of designing art knives, and his real world experience as a first responder, this unusual perspective allows him to design hard use tactical folders that are not only aesthetically pleasing to the eye, but extremely comfortable in the hand. All of Rick’s products are engineered to go the distance when it counts the most whether it be when life is on the line, or you just need a good cutting tool.
