The Super Gold 2 Honyaki is a rare and unconventional offering from Sukenari. It is commonly agreed that forging process doesn't do much good to the powdered steel, but master Hanaki decided to give the SG2 honyaki a forging touch. I was a little bit skeptical at the beginning but such doubt was totally dismissed when I saw the hardness test result at Sukenari's Toyama factory: the hardness has reached to a staggering HRC65, and the micro-structure of the SG2 steel is now totally different to the unforged SG2 steel. I offered the SG2 Honyaki blade to a few of my Japanese chef clients, and the result has been extremely positive. The edge retention is second to none, and the Kireaji (cutting feel, ??????) is amongest the best in stainless steel. I am very confidient of the SG2 honyaki line, but according to master Hanaki this is probably the only batch that he is going to make (at least in the foreseeable future), so of course, I ordered all of them :)
