285mm CPM-D2 Sujihiki
$583.00Original price was: $583.00.$408.00Current price is: $408.00.A 285mm CPM-D2 Sujihiki
Here I have a lighter 285mm CPM-D2 sujihiki available, made from the semi-stainless steel; CPM-D2. Conventional D2 has a long history of use in knives, and a derivative of it is used for some Japanese kitchen knives called SDK11 or sometimes SDL. This steel however, is a significant upgrade from conventional D2/SKD11 as the powder metallurgy process creates much finer and more evenly distributed carbides in the steel, resulting in twice the toughness at the same hardness and much improved fine edge stability (not to mention greater ease of grinding). D2 lacks any vanadium or tungsten carbides, and as a result is fully serviceable on conventional stones, despite being a fairly high wear resistant steel. This is a fairly thin suji, but owing to the very gradual taper in the first 2/3 of the blade, is quite stiff for its thickness.
