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.
CPM CruWear
Tough and wear-resistant at once, with more corrosion resistance than most tool steels. A hard steel to argue with if you can maintain it.
