"— Massive presence and reliable sharpness —
The Super Gold II, made by a top-level manufacturing method achieved by the dramatic improvement of steelmaking technology, is adopted for the blade. This ultra-high-end cutting steel material—excellent in terms of the four major properties of hardness, tenacity, wear resistance and corrosion resistance—was forged using the traditional Echizen Uchihamono forging technique. The blade has an edge where ripple patterns as beautiful as those of Japanese swords stand out, and long-lasting sharpness and durability achieved by buffing it to the utmost limit. The Blazen Ryu is a series for professional use finished by artisans with painstaking attention to detail.
Follow these care recommendations for your Japanese knives to protect the edge and keep them sharp as long as possible:

R2 and SG2 are technically different steel types, but are so similar we and many other retailers lump them into the same category. They are what’s known as a “quick powdered” stainless tool steel with incredible edge retention and corrosion resistance. Their one drawback is that their hardness can make them difficult to sharpen. It is not a steel we would recommend for those planning to thin and polish the bevels of their knives unless they are equipped with the proper tools (you will need a low grit stone in the #200 grit range).
