Double Edged – R-2 / SG-2

SG2, also known as R2, is a powdered stainless steel with a very fine, even grain. It can be hardened well beyond conventional stainless while staying tough, giving a sharp edge that lasts a long time with very little maintenance.

These double-edged SG2/R2 knives include gyuto, petty, kiritsuke and utility kiritsuke, in polished, hammered and Damascus finishes. Handles include rosewood, triple ring stabilized maple burl and ocean blue. SG2 is a popular step up for cooks who want long edge life and easy care. See all SG-II (R2) Steel knives.
