We do not list Phosphorus, Sulfer or Silicon as these are undesirable elements in fine tool steels used for knives. Makers should buy their steel from the supplier who includes the least amount of them.
* G-2 steel as referenced here is made by the Gingami Company in Japan. This steel was used in some of the original Spyderco knives.
