D-2 is a high-carbon high-chromium tool steel, commonly used as an upgrade from A-2 when more wear resistance is needed. D-2's toughness is fair and its wear resistance is very good due to the high-chromium content. This high-chromium content also imparts some corrosion resistance in D-2.

Typically D-2 is used in the hardness range of RC 56-62. The toughness of D-2 is generally 25-35% less than that of A-2. D-2 will be more difficult to fabricate and sharpen than A-2. D-2 possesses good edge-holding ability and can be polished to a very bright finish. For this reason, many show-class quality knives are made from D-2.
