PM / 粉末鋼 Powder Metallurgy (PM)

A modern steel-making process where the alloy is atomised into a fine powder and then compressed under high pressure before sintering. This creates an exceptionally uniform carbide distribution — far finer and more even than conventionally cast steel. The result is a blade that achieves higher hardness without sacrificing toughness, holds a keener edge for longer, and is more resistant to chipping. PM steels are generally considered a step up in performance, though they can be harder to sharpen on coarse stones.

硬度 ? 洛氏硬度(HRC) measures how resistant a steel is to permanent deformation. For kitchen knives:

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.
63–66 HRC

ZDP189是一款頂級粉末冶金不鏽鋼,以其卓越的硬度與出色的鋒利保持度聞名。由日立金屬開發,其高碳與鉻含量極高,使硬度可達 67 HRC,堪稱製刀領域中最堅硬的鋼材之一。正因為擁有如此驚人的硬度,ZDP189能研磨出極為細緻的刃口,並在長時間高強度使用下依然維持銳利,其鋒利保持度遠勝許多其他鋼種。不過,高硬度也意味著研磨難度較高,若使用不當則較容易崩刃。儘管 ZDP189因含有大量鉻而具備一定的抗腐蝕能力,日常仍需細心保養刀身。憑藉這些優異特性,ZDP189常見於高端與特規刀具,深受重視切削性能與耐用度的玩家及專業人士青睞。

    Frequently asked questions

    ZDP-189 高碳不鏽鋼用於廚刀的優缺點

    ZDP-189 是一種高碳、高鉻粉末冶金鋼,能達到 63–66 HRC 的硬度,提供極致的鋒利度保持性;然而,同樣的硬度也使其刃口較脆,且比較軟的鋼材更難研磨。

    在 K&S 的產品目錄中,此鋼材由 初心 與 佑成 等製刀名家運用於 牛刀、小刀 及 筋引 等刀型,價格介於 300 至 930 澳幣之間。具體範例為「初心 隼 ZDP-189 鏡面 牛刀 240mm」,售價為 440 澳幣。若您重視在重度使用下仍能維持剃刀般鋒利的刃口,且具備維護 63+ HRC 硬度刃口而不易崩缺的技巧,則適合選擇此鋼材;若您需要一把能容忍側向應力、或在野外容易研磨的刀具,那麼高碳含量與極高硬度所帶來的取捨,或許是您希望避免的。
