What Is SLD Semi-Stainless Steel?

SLD is a cold-work tool steel produced by Proterial, formerly Hitachi Metals. The manufacturer identifies SLD with JIS SKD11 and AISI D2 and lists a typical composition of 1.5% carbon, 12.0% chromium, 0.9% molybdenum and 0.3% vanadium.

In kitchen knives, SLD is commonly described as semi-stainless. It offers more stain resistance than simple carbon steels, but it is not maintenance-free: hand-wash the blade, dry it promptly and avoid leaving acidic food or moisture on the steel.

Proterial describes SLD as a wear-resistant general-purpose cold-work tool steel with good hardenability and low quench distortion. In a finished knife, edge retention, toughness and sharpening feel also depend on the maker’s heat treatment, blade grind and edge geometry.
