SG2 powder steel
SG2 powder stainless steel offers high hardness, a fine grain structure, and long-lasting sharpness even with frequent use.
Brass guard

What does SG2 powder steel mean?
SG2 is a powder-metallurgy stainless steel. Thanks to its fine and homogeneous structure, it achieves high hardness, excellent wear resistance, and long-lasting edge retention. For a kitchen knife, this means a precise cut and less frequent sharpening.
Why a brass guard?
Brass is a material that naturally changes with use. It gradually darkens, develops a patina, and gives the knife a personal character. It can also be polished again with a special metal cloth to restore its original shine.
Which type of knife should you choose?
| Knife type | Best use | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Chef knife 200 mm | Meat, fish, vegetables, larger ingredients, and general kitchen tasks | The main knife of the entire series and the best choice for demanding everyday cooking |
| Petty knife 150 mm | Smaller vegetables, fruits, herbs, cheeses, and precision work | A practical complement to the larger chef's knife |
| Slicer 250 mm | Slicing meat, fish, ham, roast, or larger pieces | For long, clean cuts without unnecessary pressure |

Caring for Suncraft Elegancia SG2 knives
Hand wash
Do not wash the knife in the dishwasher. After use, rinse it with a soft sponge, dry it, and store it so that the blade does not touch other metal utensils.
Protect the hard blade
SG2 blades stay sharp for a very long time, but hard Japanese knives are not designed for cutting bones, frozen ingredients, or twisting while cutting.
Care for the brass
The brass guard naturally darkens over time. You can leave the patina as is or polish it occasionally with a metal polishing cloth.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Suncraft Elegancia SG2 suitable for professional use?
Yes. Thanks to SG2 powder steel, long-lasting sharpness, a wider blade, and a comfortable handle, the series is suitable for both demanding home cooks and professional kitchens.
Is SG2 stainless steel?
Yes. SG2 is powder-coated stainless steel. However, we recommend hand washing and immediate drying to ensure the knife retains its perfect appearance over the long term.
Why does brass change color over time?
Brass naturally reacts to air, moisture, and use. It develops a patina, which is normal and gives the knife a distinctive look. If you want to restore the shine, you can polish it with a suitable metal cloth.
What is the difference compared to standard stainless steel knives?
SG2 powder steel has a finer grain structure and higher hardness potential than many standard stainless steels. The result is longer blade life and a more precise cut.
Which knife from this series should you choose first?
We recommend the 200 mm Chef's Knife as your first choice. If you already have a main chef's knife, the 150 mm Petty or 100 mm Paring Knife make great additions.
