If r2 is the same thing as sg2 then y’all need to try blazen or takamura. It’s good stuff.

YES!!!! Haha hahaNot disagreeing
Yeah, never thought it was hard to sharpen, but it is all relative I guess, wh2 is easier.
I think it also matters how big of a micro-bevel your working with. And angle of sharpening.
R2 is my favourite.

My experience of sharpening r2 has been great so far. In particular takamuras
I'd rather sharpen R2 than Shun VG-10.
Apparently Panda and I have a couple things in common. Ho handles and carbon steel please!

I have a Sukenari 165mm petty in HAP 40 and it's a great knife. I mostly prefer carbon knives for my own use, and this Sukenari is mainly used by my wife as a replacement for a Henckel 6" utility knife. But I'll grab it for things like slicing large amounts of citrus like oranges or lemons where I want to spare the acid exposure with my carbon knives.
Great little knife with a good slightly convex grind, fairly easy to sharpen. Excellent fit and finish on the ebony handle. As a "semi-stainless" steel, the HAP 40 under the cladding line forms a slightly more darkened patina than the stainless steel above it, which is an interesting look.
