Collection: White2

White 2 (Shirogami 2) is the classic steel of hand-forged Japanese knives and traditional single bevels. It is a very pure Yasugi carbon steel, a little tougher than White 1, that sharpens quickly to an extremely keen edge.

Many sharpeners' favourite steel to work with, and a great choice if you want to learn to sharpen. Like all carbon steel, keep it dry. See White steel vs Blue steel.
