Benefits of SG2 Stainless Steel
SG2 is a premium powdered stainless steel prized for its exceptional hardness, sharpness, and edge retention. Thanks to its fine grain structure, SG2 can be ground to an incredibly sharp edge that holds longer than many traditional steels—ideal for precision tasks like slicing raw fish or other delicate ingredients. Unlike high-carbon steels, SG2 is also highly resistant to corrosion and staining, offering the low-maintenance convenience of stainless steel without sacrificing performance. This makes SG2 a top choice among serious chefs who demand both cutting-edge performance and long-term reliability in the kitchen.
