Damascus Steel:
Damascus steel is a beautifully patterned steel material that was originally produced in the Damascus region of Syria since it was said to be called warts steel. The current Damascus steel produces an elegant ripple to alternately superimpose and polish two kinds of steel materials. Often times the Damascus steel is wrapped around a core metal such as VG-10 or Silver-3 to give the knife additional qualities, whether that be functional or aesthetic.
VG-10:
VG-10 is a grade of stainless steel produced in Japan primarily focused on cutlery. The name stands for V Gold 10 where "gold" refers to the quality. The approximate content is Carbon: 1%, Vanadium: .1-.3%, Chromium: 14.5-15.5%, Molybdenum: .9-1.2%, Cobalt: 1.3-1.5%, Manganese: .5%, and Phosphorus: .03%.
This steel has good edge retention and has very good corrosion resistance. In Damascus style knives it is often used as the core, with the Damascus steel wrapped around.
