VG10 is a type of Japanese steel that is known for its hardness, durability, and ability to hold a sharp edge. VG10 steel is made from a combination of carbon, chromium, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, vanadium, and iron. The steel has a high carbon content, which contributes to its hardness and sharpness retention. The addition of chromium provides the steel with resistance to corrosion and rust, while cobalt helps to maintain the steel's hardness and durability.
 
In terms of its characteristics, VG10 steel is hard and dense, which makes it resistant to chipping and breaking. It is also relatively easy to sharpen, and once sharpened, it can hold a sharp edge for a long time. The steel has a fine grain structure, which makes it ideal for producing sharp and precise edges.
