I want to start by saying this is a very nice bar. I was looking for a very specific bar when I bought mine and I thought this filled the billet. All black, 15KG, with a decent knurling. This bar seemed to check all the boxes. However the claim to a "medium" knurling just didn't prove to be true... The knurling is next to none. I'm a little bit upset by this because I was willing to spend the extra dollar for that and in the end I could have bought an identical bar for $100 less. It really is a great bar but if you're looking for something with a more aggressive knurling this is not the one.
