Rochin (oak)

ROCHIN

Hand made Rochin of hard wood.   Wood is treated with high quality natural wax polish paste (silicon free) that nourishes, feeds and protects thewood and helps to prevent it from drying out.It doesn't not leave a film onto the wood. As a result, the wood is free for moving without cracks and pealing and it doesn't stick on the hands and has a velvet touch. Rochin is suggested to be used for kata

If maintenance is needed, super-fine  sandpaper (600-grit) can be used on wood only

Color of wood may vary

Rochin blade is made of stainless steel  (not chrome) Chrome usually reffers to chromium plating, which is a technique whereby a layer of chromium is electroplated onto the outside of a metal object. The disadvantage of this technique is that metal is  prone to chipping, flaking and peeling due to hits and finally corrosion and rust.

On the other hand, Stainless steel (inox) is valued for its anti-corrosion properties and its high resistance to rust. Stainless steel Rochin stays unaltered for many years. Since there is no coating, we don't see any effects such as chipping, flaking and peeling.
