I own a Mcusta Yoroi, VG10 with a San Mai core, came literally shaving sharp out of the box and is very very very easy to maintain a good edge. Only downside is that it might be too beautiful to EDCMcusta, edit to add my only experience is handling my co-workers scalpel sharp gentlemans edc type in cocobolo. My experience with VG10 mostly comes from my Lahar which I carried exclusively for 2 years and still carry from time to time. Easy to get sharp and keep that way, pretty forgiving, never had any damage that wasn't easy to repair, no chips etc.

MCusta is very underrated imo, the craftsmanship is amazing on those things. They should get way more recognitionYeah one of these days I'm going to pull the trigger on one of the smaller models that still offers a clip. Gorgeous knives with high quality build.
Not yetYes, VG10 is widely used in Japanese cooking knives. But the OP's reference to Delica and Endura kind of suggested
that he wasn't talking about cooking knives.

Once he sees what a nice steel it is he might want some kitchen knives in VG10 as well.
