Frequently Asked Questions
What does D2 on a knife blade mean?
D2 refers to a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel known for hardness, edge retention, and wear resistance.
Does D2 make a good kitchen knife?
D2 can perform well in a kitchen knife when properly maintained. Its hardness and wear resistance provide good edge retention, while regular cleaning and drying help protect the blade.
Is D2 a high-end steel?
D2 is an established tool steel rather than a modern premium powder-metallurgy steel. It remains popular for knives because of its balance of hardness, edge retention, wear resistance, and cost.
What are the downsides of D2 steel?
D2 requires more attention to moisture than highly corrosion-resistant kitchen steels and can take more effort to sharpen. Hand wash and completely dry the blade after use.
