I’m so impressed with the Hatachi Shirogami steel even though it’s not easy to work and very expensive I’m amazed of how hard I can get this steel and still be extremely functional. I’ve always been a 52100 fan but I’m go to have to add it one favorites to use. The Shirogami is sandwiched between two pieces of lower carbon steel. AMAZING EDGE HOLDING ABILITY!
The handle is twice dyed burl maple.
Hitachi Shirogami steel is one of the purest steels available anywhere in the world. Made from iron ore sand that is so rich it can be extracted from river beds with magnets, white paper steel is extremely fine grained and once forged and heat treated, displays phenomenal sharpening and edge holding characteristics.
