SRS13 Steel

SRS-13 steel is a high-grade Japanese powdered stainless steel recognized for its outstanding edge retention and reliable cutting ability, similar to R-2 steel. Produced by powder metallurgy, SRS-13 has a fine grain structure that supports a sharp, durable edge and strong wear resistance. With a typical hardness around HRC 63, an SRS-13 knife performs exceptionally well in demanding kitchen work and remains easy to sharpen.
SRS-13 steel offers a balanced mix of hardness, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance, making it a smart option for both professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts seeking dependable performance. While not as common as R-2, SRS-13 continues to gain respect among knife makers and users for its consistent quality and dependable results.
