I would like to learn about Blade Steel

Yes it was $80 sorry I did not notice the price on the website. I just linked to the knife.
So what other VG-10 knifes would you suggest? What are you opinions on VG-10?

Click to expand...

Fall kniven has a good one. I suggest you try whatever you like. The s30v of Spartan blades. 1095 or elmax of Jericoh bladeworks(out if Georgia I may have mispelt name) infini of busse. So many options almost limitless

I feel VG10 is a tick below 154cm and Ats34 and rwl but heat treated right it works well and is balanced. I think the A2 by fallkniven s a good example of using VG10
 
So VG-10 seems pretty good in my eyes. I now see the different elements in steel can make blades stronger and/or less resistant for corrosion.

VG-10 fits this:

Carbon: more than .5% carbon, which makes it "high-carbon" steel.

Vanadium: Due to the vanadium content, VG-10 takes a killer edge, just like other vanadium steels like BG-42 and AUS-8. VG-10 is also tougher and more rust-resistant than ATS-34, and seems to hold an edge better.

Molybdenum: more than 1% prevents brittleness & maintains the steel's strength.

Chromium: more than 13% for wear resistance, hardenability, and for corrosion resistance.

Manganese: aids and contributes to hardenability, strength & wear resistance.

Silicon: Contributes to strength like manganese.
