About the steel:
Laminated VG-10 is manufactured in Japan by the Takefu Special Steel company. The hard VG-10 core is sandwiched between two, softer layers of 420J2 steel. This lamination makes an exceptionally strong blade. Everything else is being equal, the laminated version is about 20% stronger than the non laminated, standard variant. VG-10 stainless steel is well machinable and easy to grind. It has good edge retention, it is not hard to sharpen and has a fairly good corrosion resistance.
