VG10 is hard and therefore a little more brittle but that'll only be the core/edge and you ain't going to be using it to decapitate anybody. A sharpening steel does no such thing really, it reforms the edge badly and that's why you have to use it constantly.
Ok that's good to know, what type of stone should I be looking for and what kind of prices are they? From reading it appears honing should be done every few uses, but actual sharpening once or twice a year?
No rust spots.
I have a couple of Spyderco knives with VG10 blades, they get used harder than the kitchen knives and are fine.
That's good to know Chris!
