VG 10 stainless steel is a mixture that contains roughly 1% carbon, 1% molybdenum, 15% chromium, . 2% vanadium and 1.5% cobalt. All of these relatively small amounts of other metals give the VG 10 steel its unusual properties, such as its ability to hold an edge, and the sheer durability of the steel in question. It’s high-end steel with a balanced chemical composition, it offers great edge retention, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, hardness and toughness, so the question is pretty obvious here. And Yes it’s good for knives, especially if you’re working in a humid environment, it’s very popular in Japan (It’s one of the best choices on the Japanese Fishermen).

About the BF-38 Eagle — Authentic Filipino Balisong

Collectors pick the BF-38 Eagle because it is the real thing: an original Filipino balisong butterfly knife, handmade from start to finish. The blade is Japanese VG10 super steel, prized for taking a true razor edge. The handles carry kamagong — Philippine ironwood, one of the densest and most beautiful hardwoods on earth. At 24cm overall and 150g, it balances beautifully in the hand – built to the classic Filipino pattern.

This is a working blade and a collector piece in one — handmade, not machined by the thousand. See the history of the balisong for the story behind the craft, or add custom engraving.
