## Why we chose it

SG2 (R2) is a powder-metallurgy stainless that achieves 63+ HRC with no reactive maintenance — edge retention approaching carbon steel without the patina obligation. Handle and bolster are seamless stainless steel, eliminating any wood-metal junction or adhesive. No coatings, no synthetic composites, no undisclosed materials. Made in Japan by Jikko Cutlery.
