Tinted rows are where these two differ.

The steel difference

VG-10

The Japanese standard. Takes a very keen edge quickly; loses it sooner than the powder steels.

Sandvik 12C27

Morakniv and Opinel's steel. Modest edge retention, excellent toughness and grain, sharpens on anything including a river rock.
