Kabuki Iron Plates
These are no longer available. You can still buy some limited Kabuki equipment from Rogue. Kabuki Iron Plates are a budget friendly option that will stand the test of time and consistently do their job to assist gravity in challenging the lifter, while looking mighty fine in the process.

I bought two pairs of 45s to use on plate loaded machines, these are cool looking plates. The e coat finish gets marred easily but they are a good step up from standard plates and now that they are not made possibly collectable.

It's cool to have a set for the history since they're recycled post-military steel and won't be produced any more. I picked up a 25-10-5-2.5 pair set and each plate came in within a 2% weight tolerance. They're e-coated but the finish is not a nice as other e-coated plates, so they'll scratch pretty easily over time. The hub on the 25 plate is also a ton of fun to use for grip training.

While the e-coat finish is decent, be prepared for some minor cosmetic wear over time, since Kabuki is gone now these might be worth something in the future

I bought a partial set of plates 25-10-5-2.5 in the secondary market and love them. They have a traditional vintage shape. I decided to highlight the letters with white and blue paint pens. I also like the background in that they were designed and produced for a short time during the 2020 equipment shortages. The steel was supposedly from recycled military equipment (tanks, etc.)

These are the ones sold by Weight it Out. I'm glad I bought a pair for the history but they are some of the ugliest plates I've seen.
