I would say it is not a great material for yoyo because it is reactive aka toxic metal and only be used in alloy rather than machining it straight from a raw Vanadium unless you have some extremely hard coating to prevent it directly interacting with human skin. Also with high density and hardness, the cost to manufacture alone is quite expensive. ---

If that is the case then it may be a good take with for example Chromium-vanadium steel alloy since Vanadium in alloys is safe to use but still with difficulties in machining, the yoyo could take a while for this to land a good project ---

If it’s used for tool production I’m sure it’s ok to at least handle. If you eat your yoyo and get vanadium poisoning there are other things to be concerned about ---
