Collection: SG2

SG2 is a powdered stainless steel and one of the most popular steels in modern Japanese knives. Its very fine grain lets it be hardened to around 62 to 64 HRC, so it takes a keen edge and holds it far longer than conventional stainless. You may also see it called R2: it is the same steel under another name.

Our grit guide covers the right stones to keep it at its best.
