Our Comment

The Shigeki Tanaka SG2/R2 Damascus knife features a stunning black Damascus pattern, created by layering and forging multiple types of steel together, resulting in a unique and breathtaking design.

Featuring an SG2 steel core, it offers outstanding edge retention and corrosion resistance.

The convex primary bevels tend to separate tall ingredients gently and are thin right behind the edge, creating small secondary bevels that experience minimum pressure at the cutting edge. 

  • Edge retention: Poor/Average/Good/Great/Excellent
  • Corrosion Maintenance: Low/Average/High
