Tinted rows are where these two differ.

The steel difference

CPM-S45VN

The S30V family's refresh — more chromium in solution than S35VN, so better corrosion resistance with a little more edge retention.

VG-10

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