What is D2 Steel?
D2 steel is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel widely used in quality knives. It offers excellent wear resistance and strong edge retention, holding a sharp edge through tough cutting tasks. With about 1.5% carbon and 11-13% chromium, it provides semi-stainless properties—better corrosion resistance than basic carbon steels, though not fully stainless. D2 knives are hardened to around 58-62 HRC, making them durable for everyday carry (EDC), hunting, or utility work. They require basic care (wipe dry after use) but deliver great performance at an affordable price compared to premium steels.
