Steel Introduction
⭕SPG STRIX Steel:
The newly developed “SPG STRIX®” steel embodies traditional Japanese forging techniques while maintaining the workability and durability of conventional stainless powder steels.
It achieves an exceptional hardness of HRC 65, placing it among the highest-grade stainless steels used in knife making.
This steel offers outstanding cutting performance derived from its extreme hardness, edge characteristics and sharpenability similar to carbon steel, as well as excellent corrosion resistance and toughness—making it an ideal knife steel.
