There are differences between SG2 and VG-10 but one isn't clearly better than the other. Because the SG2 can be made harder it's more easily hyped. But the extra hardness doesn't make a lot of difference in use. That is, if you want your knives truly sharp you won't be able to go 6 months between sharpening the SG2 if you'd ordinarily sharpen the VG-10 at 4 months. Your actual sharpening intervals will likely stay about the same.
