Tool steels
Tool steels are designed for maximum wear resistance and long blade life. They are characterized by a higher carbon and carbide content, which allows the blade to retain its sharpness even during intensive use and demanding work.
These steels were originally developed for industrial tools, where strength and resistance to mechanical stress are key. In cutlery, they are mainly used where high blade durability and robustness are required. A typical representative of this category is D2 steel.
Tool steels are not usually fully stainless, so they require basic care against moisture and corrosion. However, the reward is very stable and long-lasting cutting performance.
This category is suitable for users who are looking for high durability, long blade life, and a technically oriented material with a distinctive character.
