I have the Tanaka vg10 and it's terrific knife and I love using it and takes a very decent edge. not too difficult to get sharp IMO. The steel is better than on my Mac Pro which in turn is better than my colleagues Tojiros which i test drive occasionally. And his Tojiros are nice, definitely great bang for buck knives.
I have a few carbons and a PM which are better then vg10, but it doesn't mean vg10 isn't good!
