Shirogami is another word for white #2 steel. Some also call it white paper #2 because the steel is wrapped in white paper from the steel mill named Hitatchi. These knives are reactive carbon steel and they sharpen up really easily and hold an edge well. These are great knives for those who want to try a good-value carbon steel knife. This Usuba is made with a satin finish that is shiny. All of them will develop patina over time and you need to keep them dry or else they could rust.

Love this knife. Not great for everything, but for vegetables it puts my nakiris to shame. Takes a bit of getting used to. Just mentally understand the single edge and it's unbelieveably precise. Now I can't do without a usuba in the kit. Great value.

I thought this knife was gonna be a nice starter single bevel knife. Out of box edge was meh…. But after a progression on the stones, this is now my sharpest knife!!! Easily rivaling my multi hundred dollar double bevel Japanese knives
