Steel

VG-10 - A grade of stainless tool alloy steel created in Japan specifically for making premium blades and knives. The steel recipe was created by Takefu Special Steel co. Ltd, which is headquartered in Takefu, Fukui Prefecture. Initially used in the manufacture of kitchen knives, it quickly found use as an excellent material for utility blades. One of the companies that has contributed most to the rise in popularity of VG-10 steel is Spyderco. Due to import restrictions, almost all knives made of VG-10 steel are manufactured in Japan.
