VG-10 is a unique formulation of steel with a high carbon content, and containing various amounts of one or more of the following: Chromium, Vanadium, Molybdenum and Cobalt. The steel is specially designed for high-quality blades used in kitchen cutlery, such as chef’s knives, vegetable knives, cleavers, paring knives, carving knives and the like. VG-10 is often called “super steel,” because it is designed to maintain sharpness and durability without becoming brittle, a major fault normally associated with exceptionally hard steel. This quality is ideal when extreme sharpness is desired, as most other steel will not take or keep an edge like VG-10. When this type of steel is used in a knife, it is normally encased in layers of steel providing greater corrosion-resistance, leaving only the “super steel” exposed at the edge for fine cutting.
**Note (April 2022) – Our production costs (materials alone) have gone up 35% in the last 2 years and we have not raised our prices for several years. As a result, we must raise prices and are doing so at 15%. Thank you for understanding.
Our folding knife, Denali, features a VG10 Blade. See it on our Folding Knife page.
