"Stainless" means stain-resistant, not stain-proof. In kitchen use, the steel can still discolour or pit if exposed to acidic environments — citrus, vinegar, or salt water — for extended periods. Wash and wipe dry after every use, and avoid leaving the blade soaking in water. With basic care, a stainless knife is very low-maintenance and a great everyday choice. 타케후 특수강, 일본
VG10W V금10W
55–58 HRC — Soft. Easy to sharpen and forgiving of rough use, but dulls faster. Typical of most German knives.
59–61 HRC — Balanced. Good edge retention with manageable sharpening. Common in mid-range Japanese knives.
62–64 HRC — Hard. Excellent edge retention, holds a very fine edge. Requires more care and a fine stone to sharpen.
65+ HRC — Very hard. Exceptional edge longevity but more brittle — more prone to chipping if used roughly.
Higher is not always better — it depends on how you use and maintain your knife.

VG10W Composition
What's in VG10W
What each element does in your knife.
| Element | Composition | What it does in your knife |
|---|---|---|
| CrChromium | 15.0% | Raises corrosion resistance; at roughly 13%+ free chromium the steel qualifies as stainless. Also improves hardenability and wear. |
| CoCobalt | 1.5% | Allows higher hardening temperatures for more hardness and wear resistance, and strengthens the steel matrix. |
| CCarbon | 1.0% | The primary hardening element. More carbon means a harder edge that holds longer — but past a point it trades away toughness and rust resistance. |
| MoMolybdenum | 1.0% | Improves hardenability and toughness, boosts corrosion resistance, and helps the steel hold hardness under heat. |
| WTungsten | 0.4% | Forms hard carbides for wear resistance and edge stability, and keeps the steel hard even at elevated temperatures. |
| VVanadium | 0.2% | Forms extremely hard vanadium carbides for superior edge retention, and refines the grain for a finer, tougher edge. |
