ABC bars are the cheapest I would go, as long as its the proper black nitride bars, they are a massive step up from the iron edge items also plenty...

    Affordable Olympic Lifting Barbell

    Makes sense.... The Uesaka bar has normal, fine, smooth, knurling for your hands, But in the centre the knurling is very smooth and offers very little grip. essentially just a bit of pattern..
