Rogue. From the bone yard, it is a blem.  I don't know what the blem is though. $195 +shipping. Think that's $100 less than non blem.

Nice. I'm still getting used to the whip on mine. How do you like pulling with it?

Well I pulled 505 today with almost no warm up. So it seems to work well.

I just returned a blem.  The home was all the knurling and markers were offset to one side about 3/4" .  Rogue said that is what they claim is double knurling .

I bought a different bar instead, still from rogue, but how dumb is that.

Found the blem. Knurl is a little different next to this ring.

This thing is super easy to hold onto as it digs deep into your skin. Attachment Attached File

Very nice.

We had one at my gym but knuckle heads were benching with it, curling it, etc

I tried benching with it. Way too bouncy. I did like back squats with it. It bends around your back.

That knurling is going to be extra lovely with some high rep deads or cleans. 

My thighs get torn up enough with beat up standard gym bars.

I don't like that bounce

It's not that it's bad to use for other things, it just takes it away from those who want to to deadlift with it.

Don't run the knurling up your leg. Problem solved.

It will give you a boost out of the hole if you time it right.

I don't care about it at the bottom. It's at the top I don't like. Especially with 4 plates or more.

I even tried back to back one time. I was doing sets of 8 with 455 and the deadlift bar was significantly harder.

Sharper is more bettah, all of us are a little masochistic or we wouldn't like lifting weights.

I love my Ohio bar for squats and deads. But I agree on it being too bouncy for bench. I got a second bar just for bench.

And it will absolutely shred your shins.
