VG-10W is an advanced, high-performance stainless steel that builds upon the proven qualities of VG-10 by incorporating amount of Tungsten (W). This innovation significantly enhances the steel's overall durability, wear resistance, and hardness—without sacrificing the corrosion resistance that has made VG-10 a trusted choice among knife makers and professional chefs worldwide.
The added Tungsten forms fine, evenly dispersed carbides within the steel matrix, improving both edge retention and sharpening response. In addition, VG-10W offers better hardenability, allowing for higher achievable hardness and improved heat resistance—making it particularly well-suited for high-performance knives used in demanding environments.
Compared to VG-10, VG-10W demonstrates a 20% increase in structural durability and a 25% improvement in cutting performance in blade testing, making it a clear step forward in knife steel evolution.
Designed for next-generation cutlery, VG-10W is ideal for high-end kitchen knives as well as tougher, more utility-driven blades where edge strength and wear resistance are paramount. It is truly a high-spec steel that brings the future of Japanese knife-making into your hands.
