What is SLD Stainless?
SLD steel was originally designed by Hitachi as high-performance cold work die steel for cutting other steels. Being used in dies for punching or stamping other metals SLD stainless improved mold lifespan and ease of fabrication.
So how does that fit in with kitchen knife manufacture you ask?
Blacksmiths used SLD stainless when making quality kitchen knives because its hard, tough, and strong against wearing so they could create knives that will hold their edge as long as carbon steel knives but are much easier to look after and maintain
