VG10 works well with the sharpmaker too. Touched my up on the 15° angle and takes a nice edge.

Saw a thread recently from circa 2001 comparing the “new” VG-10 to ATS-55 and touting it as a “steel of the gods”. Funny how things change.

Hi Ejames,

You can't step into the same river twice.

We were introduced to VG-10 by one of our makers in Seki. They said it was developed by Takefu for grafting of plants. We decided to try it, after testing, on the Moran fixed blade. which is still in our line. And then the Goddard folder. We were in the middle of testing number of blade steels. Vg-10 was an all-around winner in the balanced combination of performances. We've been using it as a "Stable" steel for decades.

Good thing too. My Delica has cemented itself as my EDC.
