SKD steel
SKD steel, known for its exceptional hardness ranging from 64HRC to 65HRC, is renowned for its ability to achieve and maintain a highly acute and razor-sharp edge. Despite not being categorized as a stainless steel, SKD possesses notable stain resistance due to its significant chromium content. Moreover, it surpasses many stainless steels in terms of wear resistance and toughness. These properties make SKD steel an excellent choice for knives that require prolonged edge retention and durability in challenging conditions.
The sharpness of this thing is terrifying. I really love this knife but I was not prepared for how sharp it was compared to the mediocre knife set I've been using for years. The weight, length and how it cuts is perfect for most of my needs. Maybe I will learn to relax while using it, maybe I shouldn't? Anyway, this is hands down the most expensive utensil I have ever purchased for my kitchen and I don't regret it.
