VG10 Steel

VG10 is stainless steel produced in Japan. The name stands for V Gold 10 ("gold" meaning quality), or sometimes V-Kin-10 (V金10号) (kin means "gold" in Japanese). It is a stainless steel with a high carbon content containing 1% Carbon, 15% Chromium, 1% Molybdenum, 0.2% Vanadium, and 1.5% Cobalt.

VG-10 stainless steel was originally designed by Takefu Special Steel Co. Ltd., based in Takefu Fukui Prefecture Japan (the former cutlery/sword-making center of Echizen).
