The short:
Designed for hard use and corrosion resistance, D-2 has been used in the knife making community since it was first introduced. D-2 can take a beating and come back for more for years on end.The high chromium and unique carbide structure lend itself to robust edges that take a tooth burr that just keeps cutting when other steels will have blunted ages ago.When combined with a solid heat treat schedule and well-planned construction, a good knife made from D-2 in the right hands is almost literally bombproof.

The Long:
D2 is a 12% ledeburitic chromium steel and corresponds to material number 1.2379 (X153CrMoV12, D2). This tool steel combines the advantages of conventional 12% ledeburitic chromium steels with those of advanced tool steels. In the group of 12% ledeburitic chromium steels, BÖHLER K110 offers the best combination of wear resistance, compressive strength and toughness, for which reason it is used in virtually all cold work applications. Its advantageous tempering behavior with a pronounced secondary hardness maximum also enables the use of advanced coatings. This also makes D2 suitable for complex tools requiring a high degree of dimensional stability and shape stability.
