SG2/R2 Steel

SG2 steel, also recognized as R2 steel, is a high-grade powdered stainless steel known for its outstanding edge retention, hardness, and corrosion resistance. Its fine grain structure enables the production of blades with exceptional sharpness and longevity, qualities highly valued by professional craftsmen.
Knives crafted from SG2 steel deliver precise and consistent cutting performance, making them well-suited for both culinary professionals and discerning home users. In comparison to VG10 steel, SG2 typically maintains a sharper edge for a longer period and demonstrates superior resistance to wear, while VG10 remains an accessible option for everyday applications due to its robustness and ease of maintenance.
This selection of SG2 knives highlights the advancements in Japanese steel technology, coupled with meticulous traditional craftsmanship, offering a refined cutting experience for users seeking reliability and excellence in kitchen tools.
