D2 Steel Items
D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel. Unlike Damascus, which is pattern-welded from layers of different steels, D2 is a single steel, so the blades carry no layered pattern.
What's in this collection
- D2 skinner knives with pakkawood handles
- Folding utility knives with D2 blades and micarta or buffalo horn handles
- D2 cleaver choppers with wenge wood handles
- A 9.5-inch hand-forged layered-steel utility knife with a pakkawood handle
Every knife comes with a sheath.
Care notes
D2 is "semi-stainless" — keep it dry and oiled. After every wash, dry the blade thoroughly and wipe a thin film of mineral or food-grade camellia oil along the steel before storing. Never put a D2 blade through the dishwasher; long water immersion and alkaline detergent can mark or pit the steel.
