AUS-10 steel offers an excellent balance of sharpness, corrosion resistance, and affordability, making it a popular choice for modern kitchen knives. This Japanese stainless steel contains approximately 1.05% carbon, 13–14.5% chromium, along with manganese, nickel, and vanadium, giving it good edge retention and ease of sharpening. 

While VG-10 offers slightly higher hardness, AUS-10 stands out for its added toughness and ease of use—perfect for both professional chefs and home cooks looking for reliable cutting performance with less upkeep.
