Shirogami White #2 Knives

Shirogami #2 steel is the most commonly used white steel version and a bit of a "goldilocks" option, with a carbon content around 1.0–1.2%. It offers a balanced combination of sharpness, edge retention, and toughness, making it slightly more durable and forgiving than Shirogami #1. This balance makes Shirogami #2 a popular choice for general-purpose kitchen knives, providing high cutting performance without being overly fragile.
