Tojiro Shirogami Series 4.75" Petty (Utility) - White Steel #2 - Made in Japan

The Tojiro Shirogami series of knives brings the old world Japanese craftsmanship to your kitchen.  These knives start with core steel called Shirogami.  This is a carbon white steel #2 and then has a softer carbon steel cladding surrounding it.  This gives you an ultra sharp edge.  The handle is an oak that has the Japanese "D" shape to it and finished off with a buffalo horn ferrule.

Please note that this is a carbon steel knife and will patina with use..

The Shirohami series are a double beveled knife.

Personally I find the Tojiro line of knives to be some of the best values available today. 

• White #2 Steel core with a softer outer cladding
  
• Oak handle with buffalo collar
  
• Lightweight and nimble without sacrificing performance
  
• Ultra sharp carbon steel for easy sharpening
  
• Handcrafted in Japan and includes a lifetime warranty
