Has anybody come across this? There are some nice looking and very cheap knives on eBay claiming high HRC (circa 61). Is it worth the money charged?
If I remember correctly, yellow is Hitachi's grade below white. I think it has same carbon content as white #2 but more phosphorus and sulfur impuritys.
Be well,

The same seller has multiple White 2 knives in the range of USD 20-30, with very simple looking handles, looks very attractive. I shall probably build myself a set of Parer, Petty, Nakiri and Gyuto. Even if they are not good, that would be 100 dollars only for four knives which will anyway be (I expect) better than non-Japanese inexpensive cutlery.
Just curious why you don't spend the same amount of money and get one decent gyuto?
