Why a straight back
A flat, unbroken spine from handle to tip with all the curve in the edge. The oldest knife profile there is, and it puts the most steel behind the spine of any shape.
Every straight back here →About VG-10
The Japanese standard. Takes a very keen edge quickly; loses it sooner than the powder steels.
1-5 is a relative ranking drawn from published composition and hardness, not a lab measurement. Higher is better on every axis, and no steel is a 5 across the board — edge retention and toughness pull against each other. All VG-10 knives
