Features of the Rooij SG2 Series

These knives are assembled in-house. This means that we receive the blades and handles separately and assemble them ourselves in our workshop, allowing us to create beautiful and unique knife designs.

The blade has been ground to a thin, refined geometry, giving the knife its lightweight feel and excellent cutting performance. The core is made from SG2 powdered steel, a fully stainless steel with a high carbon content. This combination provides exceptional hardness while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance.

The handle is crafted from a combination of rosewood and oak. At the end of the handle, you will find the Rooij kanji logo, adding a distinctive finishing touch to the knife.

SG2 / SPG2 / Super Gold 2 Powdered Steel (Takefu Special Steel)

SG2 steel, also known as Super Gold 2 or R2 steel, is a premium powdered metallurgy stainless steel renowned for its outstanding performance in high-end kitchen knives. It was developed by Takefu Special Steel Co., Ltd. in Japan and combines a high carbon content with alloying elements such as chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium.

This composition provides exceptional edge retention, high hardness, and excellent corrosion resistance, making SG2 steel a favorite among professional chefs and passionate home cooks alike. Thanks to its fine microstructure, SG2 steel can be sharpened to an exceptionally refined edge while maintaining that sharpness for a long time, even under intensive use.
