The Ohio Bar - Black Oxide

When we launched the 20KG Ohio Bar in 2013, we set out to make the best all-around barbell on the market. Designed to be used for squats, bench press, and deadlifts to cleans, snatches and everything in between, the Ohio Bar has become the go-to choice for garage gyms and training facilities all over the world. Black oxide, the original finish of the Ohio Bar, pays homage to the old school iron game. With this treatment process, the knurl is left exactly how we machined it, providing a great feel that cannot be achieved with other finishes. Unlike other finishes, the black oxide treatment does not add a coating layer between your hand and the knurl, allowing you to experience the true feel of the knurl. Over time, and with some care, this bar will develop a patina providing an antique look and a bar that will last a lifetime.
