Blade is one of the oldest tools that early
people used in ancient time, and it has been
playing an important role in daily living
since then. But when you cut food and you
use blade on human's body, for instance,
shaving or hair-cutting, rust on the blade
is annoying and you can't savor delicious
cuisine. This is why stainless steel blade
was created meeting users' need, but at first
stainless steel blades had bad reputation
for being blunt. It is because the early
stainless steel was not suitable for cutting
blade.
Our V Gold1 is an ideal cutting
steel and
its material provides the base
of our stainless
cutting steel series.
From raw material with fewer impurities,
the ingot is made by latest refining technology.
It has fine and ductile structure and is
easy to forge by fire. Heat treatment is
also easy to apply to and the product is
corrosive resistant.
Blades made of VG1 meet these
four major
requirements for a good blade;
- hard
- ductile
- abrasion-resistant
- corrosive-resistant
VG1 contains 1.0% of C and hard primary carbide
and secondary carbide co-exist in the substrate,
which enhances its abrasion resistance. 14%
of Cr also contributes to improvement in
corrosive-resistance and strength. Mo together
with Cr forms hard double carbide helping
improve in abrasion resistance and corrosion
resistance.
VG10 is utilized in many fields such as for
hairdresser's scissors, kitchen knives, blade
for food-processing machineries.
