SRS13 steel is the newer innovative high speed powdered stainless steel, which can be heat treated to HRC64. They are extremely sharp and fast cutting. Sometimes artisans choose not to push the HRC to the limit, leaving room for flexibility. Compared with SG2/R2 steel, SRS13 steel is less likely to chip due to the flexibility.
