SRS13 Steel
Developed by Nachi-Fujikoshi, SRS13 is an advanced powder metallurgy super stainless steel capable of being heat-treated to an impressive HRC64. Known for its exceptional sharpness and cutting performance, it can be honed to a razor-sharp edge. However, many artisans intentionally avoid pushing it to maximum hardness, opting instead for a balance that ensures greater flexibility. Compared to SG2/R2 steel, SRS13 is less prone to chipping, making it a reliable choice for demanding cutting tasks.
