Is VG-10 better than D2?

VG10 vs D2 VG10 wins the race when it comes to ease of sharpness and resistance to corrosion. However, D2 is tougher than VG-10 due to its higher carbon content.

Is 154Cm better than S30V?

154Cm is pretty identical to something like VG-10. It takes a super sharp edge and very easy to sharpen. Like Kawr said, it’s similar to VG-10. Although in my experiance VG-10 holds an edge slightly better.

Does VG10 steel rust?

VG10 is one of the stainless steel family- so rust resistant rather than rust proof… In normal usage with the occasional clean and oil it should be fine and exhibit little or no rusting- bolt it to different metals or leave in salty environments and it’ll rust happily.

Which is better VG10 steel or S30V steel?

Among the two, S30 has better edge retention, high durability, and excellent resistance against many things. However, the S30V blade is more prone to chippings and quite expensive.

Which is better the S30V or the 154cm?

VG-10 takes a wonderful edge and holds it better than many steels I have used. The S30V holds its working edge longer, but takes longer to sharpen. They are both stainless enough that I have had no problems with either one rusting or discoloring. I have no experience with using 154CM.

Which is better 154CM or Spyderco VG-10?

VG-10 I only know from Spyderco, and it’s all good. Tough, holds an edge, sharpens well. 154CM I know from several brands, and edge holding varies between such brands as Benchmade, Leatherman, Uzi, Spyderco and Kershaw. But they’re all very easy to resharpen, which is a major plus for me as I’m pretty anal about my edges.

Why is vanadium used in CPM S30V steel?

The use of Vanadium in the CPM S30V composition reinforces steel integrity and increases its sharpness. Overall resistances toward abrasion, corrosion, and alike are also considerably enhanced as well. The complex forgings and consistent heat treat processes have quite an effect on the price, though.
