VG-10, a cutlery-grade stainless steel produced by Takefu Special Steel Co. Ltd. in Japan, is renowned for its excellence in knife manufacturing. With a composition featuring 1% Carbon, 15% Chromium, 1% Molybdenum, 0.2% Vanadium, and 1.5% Cobalt, VG-10 steel offers a compelling set of qualities.

This high-quality stainless steel is favored for its outstanding attributes:

VG-10 steel’s high hardness ensures excellent edge retention, reducing the need for frequent sharpening. Its stainless steel properties provide robust corrosion resistance, contributing to the overall durability of knives. Despite its high hardness, VG-10 steel remains relatively easy to sharpen, facilitating the maintenance of a sharp blade. The steel’s superior cutting performance makes knives highly effective in various applications.

Japanese knives crafted from VG-10 steel are celebrated for their well-balanced nature, sharp and precise edges, and prolonged sharpness. They require less frequent sharpening compared to knives made from alternative steel types. VG-10 steel’s ease of sharpening is a valuable asset for both home cooks and professional chefs, ultimately elevating the overall performance and longevity of knives.
