SG2 is my go-to recommendation for anyone who wants a stainless knife that performs like carbon steel without the fuss. At 1.25% carbon and HRC 62-64, it takes a screaming edge and holds it far longer than VG-10 or AEB-L, all while being fully rust-resistant. You get the best of both worlds: no patina worry, but real cutting performance.
