SPG STRIX

SPG STRIX is a type of stainless steel produced by Takefu Special Steel Co. It is an excellent steel for kitchen knives and has attracted much attention. The following is a summary of its features.

1) High hardness and easy to sharpen

Since it is manufactured by the powder metallurgy method, the particles have a uniform structure. This makes the steel extremely hard, exceeding HRC63, and contributes to keeping the blade sharp. In addition, it is easier to sharpen than conventional commercialized HSS steels such as SPG (Super Gold) and ZDP, so it is easy to maintain. Since it also contains toughness, it can be used for sharp and thin blades. The finer carbides in HSS steel enable this effect. It can be said that it has the most suitable characteristics for kitchen knives.

(2) Rust resistance

In addition to the above performance, it is more rust-resistant than conventional HSS. Originally, HSS has a high carbon content and is categorized as rust-prone among stainless steels. However, SPG STRIX is superior in this respect, making it easy to maintain.

SPG STRIX” is a well-balanced steel with excellent durability, rust resistance, and wear resistance. It is especially recommended for professional chefs and discerning users. The price is a little higher, but the quality will satisfy you.
