VG-10 steel: what to know

VG-10 (V-Gold 10) is made by Takefu Special Steel: about 1% carbon, 15% chromium, 1% molybdenum, 1.5% cobalt and vanadium. Cobalt strengthens the matrix so the steel can be hardened high without brittleness. Often used as a core in damascus or three-layer blades.

• Hardness: 60-62 HRC.
• Sharpness and edge retention: One of the best stainless steels for the kitchen: fine edge, aggressive cut and long edge retention. Needs honing less often than AUS-8.
• Corrosion resistance: High. Soft stainless cladding adds extra protection to the core.
• Sharpening: 12-15° per side. 1000, 3000 and 6000-8000 grit stones. Use a ceramic rod rather than a steel one.

We will pick stones for this steel or sharpen the knife at the NOJARO sharpening service.
