D2 Steel: D2 is part of a tool steel category called “high carbon, high chromium” steels. D2 steel is a tool steel often referred to as “semi-stainless” as it falls just short of the required amount of chromium (13%) to qualify as full stainless yet it still provides a good amount of resistance to corrosion. While D2 may not be stainless, it remains a top performer due in no small part to its high wear resistance/edge-holding ability. D2 is an outstanding choice for a hard-use knife and remains popular among custom knifemakers, manufacturers, and knife users as well.
