VG10W(Takefu) - Modification of the well known and popular VG-10 steel, with added Tungsten(W). Generally speaking that is a welcomed addition, because it is a good carbide former, improves hadrenability and all that. The only thing is it's just 0.40% of it, and given Tungsten's very high molar mass, 0.40% translates into very few Tungsten atoms to influence alloy properties, e.g. the same amount of Vanadium would have thrice the amount of the atoms. Anyway, it's there and it's helping, wot' make things worse. I suspect you will be very hard pressed to tell the difference in two identical knives, but still, it's an upgrade.
