I have an electroless nickel bar from 2016. I had to have it replaced within 6 months b/c the plating was not done well and the bar was rusting underneath. The bar they replaced it with has held up fantastic however in the last 9 years of use. Kabuki went through a bunch of issues in quality control especially with their nickel, so even though I don't use this bar a ton, I've held on to it b/c it's a good copy. The best thing about this bar is the knurling, it's high TPI and extremely grippy. I like the addition of a center knurl mark as well as its pressed end caps. Where this bar failed was in a few areas, it's a very loud bar, it's over priced, and it's over marketed.
