VG-10 steel is stainless steel with relatively high Carbon (C) content (1%), 15% Chromium (Cr), 1% Molybdenum (Mo), 0.3% Vanadium (V) and 1.5% Cobalt (Co). The combination of Cr, Mo, and V forms a lot of hard carbides, making the steel abrasion resistant which translates to long-lasting, smooth sharpness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Steel\u003c\/strong\u003e : 33 Layers Damascus Hammered Stainless Steel, R2(SG2) Alloy Core\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness Rockwell C scale\u003c\/strong\u003e : 63-64\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e : 165mm (6.5in)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUse \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not attempt to cut, hit or chop frozen products or bones.
