Material Introduction
SG-2 Powder Steel: Chemical composition: Carbon (C) 1.25-1.50%, Chromium (Cr) 14.0-16.0%, Molybdenum (Mo) 2.0-3.0%, Vanadium (V) 1.8-2.5%, Tungsten (W) 1.5%.
These elements give SG2 steel very high hardness and excellent corrosion resistance, while maintaining sufficient toughness. After proper heat treatment, the hardness is usually between HRC 62-64, providing long-lasting sharpness and wear resistance. The high chromium content gives it excellent corrosion resistance, effectively resisting rust and corrosion. SG2 is a highly recommended steel for chefs and knife enthusiasts seeking top performance.
Knife Model Introduction
Wagyu Knife (also known as Gyuto) is a professional chef’s knife originating from Japan. It is mainly used for slicing, chopping, and trimming beef, especially premium Wagyu. This knife typically features a longer blade that allows for clean, continuous slices, ideal for handling large cuts of meat. The design aids in precise cutting, preserving the meat’s texture and appearance. It is popular not only among professional chefs but also home cooks who require precision meat preparation. Handles and blade materials vary, commonly stainless steel or high carbon steel, with handles made from wood or composite materials for comfortable and stable grip.
