This is some of the finest Japanese blade steel similar to sword steel and makes great kitchen knives, hunting knives etc.
White paper steel is extremely fine grain takes a razor edge and is ideal for knives requiring the sharpest edge possible. The bars with Blue Paper Steel core(see our other listing) are tougher and better suited for more hard use applications.
