"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. PM / 粉末鋼 粉末冶金(PM)
PM stands for powder metallurgy. Fine steel powder is consolidated under heat and pressure. This can produce a fine, even carbide structure, but performance still depends on the steel and its heat treatment. The PM label alone does not guarantee a harder, tougher or more chip-resistant knife. 日立特殊鋼,日本
ZDP-189 粉末高速工具鋼 ZDP-189
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.
ZDP-189 元素組成
ZDP-189 成分分析
ZDP-189 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 | 20.0% | Raises corrosion resistance; at roughly 13%+ free chromium the steel qualifies as stainless. Also improves hardenability and wear. |
| C碳 | 3.0% | 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 | 1.4% | Improves hardenability and toughness, boosts corrosion resistance, and helps the steel hold hardness under heat. |
| W鎢 | 0.6% | Forms hard carbides for wear resistance and edge stability, and keeps the steel hard even at elevated temperatures. |
| Mn錳 | 0.5% | Aids hardenability and strength and acts as a deoxidiser in smelting. Too much can reduce toughness. |
| Si矽 | 0.4% | Strengthens the steel matrix and acts as a deoxidiser, improving hardness and resistance to oxidation. |
| V釩 | 0.1% | Forms extremely hard vanadium carbides for superior edge retention, and refines the grain for a finer, tougher edge. |

常見問題
ZDP-189鋼材用於廚刀的優缺點
研究顯示
ZDP-189是日立特殊鋼生產的粉末冶金不鏽鋼,含碳量約3%、含鉻量約20%,常規硬化至63–66 HRC——是量產廚刀鋼材中最硬的之一。其優點是卓越的刃口保持性、能打磨出極致鋒利的刃口,以及不鏽鋼等級的耐腐蝕性。缺點同樣有充分記載:研磨困難且耗時,極高的硬度使刃口在扭轉或側向受力時更容易產生微崩口,且刀具價格較高。市場共識將其定位為專業級鋼材,適合優先追求超長刃口壽命、不介意繁瑣保養的資深使用者。
Knives & Stones 岩刃社觀點
老實說:我自己不會想磨一把ZDP-189的刀——在磨石上的手感回饋實在很怪,加上3%碳和20%鉻,研磨起來又慢又費勁。所以我的原則是:除非你絕對需要市面上最頂級的刃口保持性,否則請考慮SG2/R2或SKD。兩者都能達到62–64 HRC,刃口保持性遠超VG-10,而且研磨和日常維護輕鬆得多。話雖如此,如果刃口壽命真的是你的首要考量,63–66 HRC的ZDP-189確實貨真價實,我們有兩個我認可的品牌在售:佑成和初心。我會推薦初心 隼 ZDP-189 鏡面 牛刀 240mm(440澳幣)——只是記得要為鑽石磨石留預算。
