VIDEO: Spyderco Stretch in VG-10 - EDC Cutting Series

Looks like the VG10 did better than I would have guessed. Thanks again, Jim.

It did as well as I expected it to do based on my testing. :)

Does much better with a coarser edge.
 
Considering the fine edge I can get on VG10, the coarser edge comment is interesing - the coarse edge comment almost sounds like the antithesis of the steel itself :) I don't have anymore VG10 in my rotation though - not looking to grab any anytime soon either.

Yeah it really is, been using it at work for the past few days and it's holding up very well.

As you know VG-10 and N690 are very close to the same.

Yes I agree, to my knowledge however I thin Ed Schempp said in a video VG-10 is actually a very fine steel, almost like a powdered steel developed in the banana farm industry?

That's possible I guess. :)
 
Very nice Jim, Thanx much.

VG-10 was developed by Takefu foundry in Japan. They developed the steel for use in grafting plants. The steel was first introduced into the market by Spyderco with their Moran model in the late 90's. It's proven to be a reliable, tough steel with good edgeholding and good corrosion resistance, and is used in many of Spyderco's Japanese models.

Hi Sal,

Yes it is a tough steel from what I have seen so far and it holds an edge very well. :)

Jim, when you say "coarse" edge, which grit is the final touch>? I ask because I know your standards are very much higher than most.
