VG Steel

VG steels are Japanese stainless steels. VG-10, the best known, adds cobalt and vanadium for a fine grain, good hardness and a durable edge, and it is widely used as the core of layered Damascus blades. VG knives resist rust and need little more than a wash and dry.

This collection includes double-edged VG-10 hammered Damascus knives in 16, 33 and 46 layers, VG-10 Gold Steel, and single-edged Hongasumi VG yanagi and deba. It is our most popular steel family for home cooks. See also VG-10 Hammered Damascus Knives.
