does this use vg10 steel, or a molybdenum vanadium steel?

I don’t think they use vg10 or molybdenum vanadium steel. I checked with the following corporate site. (Sorry only in Japanese, they don’t have an English site) https://www.kai-group.com/products/special/hocho/products/seki/akane/ In English: Blade body Uses rust-resistant "triple-layer stainless steel". The blade material is a high-hardness stainless steel blade material, and both sides are made of soft stainless steel material for easy sharpening.

Can i sharpen knife with knife sharpener?

If you need to sharpen this knife then you should not have knifes at all as you have no idea how to use them. This is one of the sharpest knifes on the market so if you dull it you did something wrong.
