Cobalt addition enhances the substrate! The ideal form of tool steel that achieves a balanced combination of hardness and toughness.
"VG10" is a high-quality knife steel that achieves a sharp edge and high durability. The added cobalt enhances the strength of the hardened metal base, firmly retaining carbides. This allows for improved cutting durability. Furthermore, by reinforcing the base, the material rigidity is also enhanced, reducing the deflection of the blade tip while sharpening, enabling a sharper edge. [Features] - Reduces deflection of the blade tip, allowing for a sharper edge - Strengthened base due to cobalt addition - Significantly improved durability and edge retention - Enhanced material rigidity by reinforcing the base *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
