"Stainless" means stain-resistant, not stain-proof. In kitchen use, the steel can still discolour or pit if exposed to acidic environments — citrus, vinegar, or salt water — for extended periods. Wash and wipe dry after every use, and avoid leaving the blade soaking in water. With basic care, a stainless knife is very low-maintenance and a great everyday choice. 武生特殊鋼,日本
VG-1 V 金 1 號
55–58 HRC — Soft. Easy to sharpen and forgiving of rough use, but dulls faster. Typical of most German knives.
59–61 HRC — Balanced. Good edge retention with manageable sharpening. Common in mid-range Japanese knives.
62–64 HRC — Hard. Excellent edge retention, holds a very fine edge. Requires more care and a fine stone to sharpen.
65+ HRC — Very hard. Exceptional edge longevity but more brittle — more prone to chipping if used roughly.
Higher is not always better — it depends on how you use and maintain your knife.
由於含有1.0%的碳(C),硬質初生與次生碳化物共存於基體中,有助於提升耐磨性。
含有14%的鉻(Cr),能最大程度地提升抗鏽蝕能力與強度。鉬(Mo)與鉻(Cr)共同形成堅硬的複合碳化物,大幅提升耐磨性與抗鏽蝕能力。
VG1達成了刀具所需的四大要件:(1)高硬度、(2)高韌性、(3)高耐磨性、(4)高抗鏽蝕性,適用範圍廣泛,包括刀具、美髮剪刀,以及食品加工用的工業機械刀片。

VG-1 含有什麼?
每種元素對刀鋼性能的貢獻。
| 元素 | 規格範圍 | 對刀的作用 |
|---|---|---|
| Cr鉻 | 13.0–15.0% | Raises corrosion resistance; at roughly 13%+ free chromium the steel qualifies as stainless. Also improves hardenability and wear. |
| C碳 | 0.95–1.05% | The primary hardening element. More carbon means a harder edge that holds longer — but past a point it trades away toughness and rust resistance. |
| Mo鉬 | 0.2–0.4% | Improves hardenability and toughness, boosts corrosion resistance, and helps the steel hold hardness under heat. |
| Ni鎳 | 0.25% | Improves toughness and ductility without sacrificing hardness, and adds a small boost to corrosion resistance. |
