Balanced component design! A versatile steel type suitable for a wide range of applications.
"VG5" is a stainless steel knife material that is well-balanced in hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, making it popular for general kitchen tools. By increasing the amounts of carbon (C) and molybdenum (Mo), and adding vanadium (V), it enhances the refinement of carbides and strengthens the metal structure. The ratio of chromium (Cr) and carbon (C) components has been pursued more deeply than that of regular stainless knife steel. It has become an all-rounder steel type suitable for a wide range of applications. 【Features】 ■ Well-balanced component design ■ Equipped with the necessary hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance for knives ■ Supported for general kitchen tools ■ Enhances carbide refinement and metal structure *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
