I'm still not certain which blade would be best for me, so I'll stick with the knife I have until I can decide.
Can anyone tell me about the VG-10 blade on my knife? Is it good stuff, or cheap? It does say it was made in japan. Toyota is also made in Japan.

I hate to say this, but japan has been leading the steel industry for a while now. Crucible steel is making great strides in their R&D department.
VG10 is a very good stainless steel, it's also difficult for custom makers to get and use. VG10 has very good edge holding ability, get a diamond stone and you should be able to get it hair popping sharp.
