Guide to Shirogami #2 listings
The index records 4 SKUs in this group, with listed prices of JPY 13,200–JPY 26,900. Blade lengths in the current selection are 165–270 mm. Representative listings by blade length are Sakai Kikumori Nihonko Shiro 165, Sakai Kikumori Nihonko Shiro 180, Sakai Kikumori Kikuzuki Rin 270. Each model page gives the retailer, the date of its feed entry and the specifications supplied for that particular variant.
What to compare in this group
Wash exposed carbon steel by hand and dry it promptly after use. Carbon steel can develop a patina during normal kitchen use. Read the retailer's construction notes to see whether that guidance also applies to the blade faces. You can also browse related entries, including Nakiri, Gyuto, Sujihiki and Sakai Kikumori. Open a model page to check the exact combination of dimensions, handle and materials available for that SKU.
If two entries have the same nominal blade length, look for the published weight and handle style. A long prep session is a good reason to pay attention to how much weight you want in the hand and where you normally grip the knife. Check the seller's measurement notes if a precise fit matters for your board, storage or blade guard.
Reading the price and stock
Each price is displayed in the retailer's listed currency, and the range above is calculated within each currency. It includes any out-of-stock listings shown in the catalog. To compare what you would actually spend, confirm sales tax, shipping and any import charges for your destination before ordering. Review the seller's product page for specifications and availability at checkout.
Use the update date to judge how recent the price and stock snapshot is. If your schedule is flexible, you can keep a shortlist of the variants that meet your needs and compare the delivered prices when they are available. Check the seller's returns policy before ordering a knife you have never handled, especially if you are buying from another country.
When you save a shortlist, keep the model name and SKU together. A series name can cover several lengths or handle options, so the full listing is a better reference when you check dimensions or compare offers across shops.
