Collection: SG2 / R2

Knives made of SG2/R2 steel

Developed by Takefu Special Steel, Super Gold 2 (SG2) is a high-grade powdered tool steel alloy designed for blade production. It is also one of the most popular high-quality powdered steels that can be processed to a hardness of 64 HRC. Powdered steel is characterized by a very high degree of purity.

It is believed that Kobelco Steel's R2 steel is exactly the same steel as SG2, which is why the names are used interchangeably. Powdered steel is ideal for knife manufacturing.
