Hatsukokuro Shirahama 120mm petty a bit unusual for a hand forged petty being narrow and thin with a simple but nice convex hamaguri grind with hairline finish. Not many petties work for in hand use but this one has a great feel to it as such.
Shirogami gets phenomenally sharp more easily than many other steels that are alloyed for longer edge life, while it is not pre-engineered for edge life, it is a sharpeners dream steel. It is a blank canvas for experimenting with different finishing stones.
