SG2 Semi-Stainless Steel is a high-performance material that stands at the forefront of modern metallurgy. Known for its exceptional durability and superior edge retention, SG2 is forged using advanced techniques that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. This unique steel is crafted at extremely high temperatures, producing a robust composition with a hardness rating of 64-65 on the Rockwell hardness scale (HRC), making it an ideal choice for professional chefs who demand both precision and reliability in their knives.

The core of SG2 is surrounded by a layer of Damascus stainless steel, which enhances the overall toughness of the blade while providing a striking visual appeal. The intricate, wave-like patterns in the Damascus steel not only add aesthetic beauty but also contribute to the blade's exceptional resilience and ability to maintain a sharp edge through extended use. Each knife crafted from SG2 offers unique, marbled patterns that evolve with each sharpening, highlighting the expertise of skilled artisans who carefully forge these blades.

For ultimate comfort and control, this knife is paired with a traditional Japanese ambidextrous octagonal Ocean Blue handle, which provides a firm, ergonomic grip. The handle is finished with triple rings, adding an elegant touch. To protect the blade and maintain its pristine condition, a magnetic oak wood saya cover is included. Easy to clean and resistant to stains, this saya ensures that the knife stays in top condition between uses. The exceptional craftsmanship behind each SG2 knife not only ensures peak performance but also creates a piece of culinary art that showcases both form and function.
