VG-10 Cobalt takes a very good edge and holds it well. Typically it is around 60-61 HRC, although some makers take it to 62HRC. Good choice for kitchen knives, folders, fixed blades, etc. Good edge holding and stain resistance. Works well with high polished, acute edge, but depending in the application acute edge part may need revision.
