About Blade Steel
[About SG2 Steel (Super Gold 2)]
SG2 steel (Super Gold 2, SPG2) is a premium Japanese powder stainless steel developed by Takefu Special Steel. Produced through powder metallurgy, it has a very fine and uniform structure that allows high hardness while maintaining good toughness, wear resistance and excellent corrosion resistance. Takefu specifies a hardening capability of HRC 62 or higher.
Because of this balance, SG2 offers excellent edge retention, clean cutting performance and easier maintenance than traditional carbon steels. It is widely used in high-end Japanese kitchen knives where long-lasting sharpness and stainless convenience are both important.
