''VG XEOS is created by Takefu Special Steel Company in Japan, it is basically a “rebalanced” version of VG-10 stainless steel optimized for corrosion resistance. Although its alloy composition is not officially published, based on Spyderco’s laboratory analysis, it features reduced carbon and cobalt, increased chromium, vanadium, and molybdenum, and the addition of nickel and tungsten. The result is a matrix of low-volume, higher-wear-resistance carbides within a chromium-enriched microstructure. In simpler terms, it offers edge retention comparable to [[VG-10]], but with significantly enhanced corrosion resistance.''
''Manufactured by Alleima® in Sweden, this ingot stainless steel is extremely pure and very popular among Japanese knifemakers, who often refer to it simply as “Swedish steel.” Widely considered both a predecessor to and a more affordable version of Takefu VG-10, it is also a very close equivalent to MBS-26, which is featured in Spyderco’s popular Kitchen Classics cooking knives.''
