As a former powerlifting meet director I got to buy and use so many power bars from Rogue to Eleiko and everything in between. My Ivanko raw stainless steel power bar is my favorite bar of all time to use. The knurling is very grippy but not sharp, the tolerances and build quality is second to none. I was able to buy 2 brand new bars some guy imported and never used. My biggest home gym regret ever is selling that second bar off and not keeping it.
