The manufacturer's description of VG-XEOS:
With changes in hygiene awareness and further diversification of dietary habits, cutlery is required not only to be sharp but also to be rust-resistant and tenacious, with high levels of contradictory characteristics such as hardness/strength and corrosion resistance.　
We have developed a new grade of steel for blades that combines high corrosion resistance and high hardness at a high dimension, which had been difficult to achieve in the past, with a fine microstructure created by a special melting method that improves wear resistance, strength, and quenching properties.
A newly developed material that combines corrosion resistance and hardness. A new steel grade that heralds the dawn of a new stage in cutlery.
This is VG XEOS.
