Tojiro Powdered Steel

Sanmai - Stainless Clad Migaki SG2 / R2 / Stainless Tsubame , Japan

The Tojiro Powdered Steel line gives its classic DP3 a run for its money. While the DP3 series (with VG10 steel) is a highly regarded as a good allround knife for many, the SG2 series provides some noteable upgrades. The powdered stainless line is made of high carbon, high alloy SG2 steel core, heat-treated to 63 HRC, and clad with 13-chrome stainless steel. The harder steel allows the blade to hold its sharpness for longer and the thinner behind-edge ensures a sleek cutting performance.

Overall, an excellent value for money choice for those who are looking for a step up from Tojiro’s popular DP series.
