White steel, or shirogami ("white paper" steel), is the closest steel to traditional tamahagane steel. The steel is very pure with few impurities, such as phosphorus and sulfur, in the steel's make up. White steel rusts easily, however the edge it holds is regarded as one of the best. White Steel No.1 has highest carbon content giving it the sharpest and hardest edge. It is to chip if used improperly.
