What type of steel is SG2鋼 / SG2粉末HSS鋼 / R2鋼?

SG2鋼 / SG2粉末HSS鋼 / R2鋼 is a 不鏽鋼 knife steel, made by Takefu Special Steel, 日本. Powder metallurgy yields a fine, uniform carbide structure that improves edge stability and toughness compared to conventional ingot-cast steels. Carbon steels can take an exceptionally fine edge but require thorough drying after use to prevent rust and discoloration.

What is the hardness of SG2鋼 / SG2粉末HSS鋼 / R2鋼 steel?

SG2鋼 / SG2粉末HSS鋼 / R2鋼 steel is typically hardened to 62–64 HRC on the Rockwell C scale. Within this range, higher hardness supports finer edges and longer edge retention, while slightly lower hardness gains toughness and ease of sharpening — most premium Japanese kitchen knives target the 60–63 HRC range to balance these properties.

Is SG2鋼 / SG2粉末HSS鋼 / R2鋼 steel stainless?

SG2鋼 / SG2粉末HSS鋼 / R2鋼 contains 14.0% chromium. The conventional threshold for stainless classification is around 13% chromium; steels below that level will discolor or rust under typical kitchen acid/moisture exposure and are classified as carbon or semi-stainless.

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. Takefu Special Steel, 日本

SG2鋼與AS鋼製作廚刀——哪種更勝一籌？

兩者並無絕對優劣，端看您更重視不鏽鋼的便利性，還是碳鋼極致鋒利的切削手感。若您希望刀具能長時間維持極致鋒利且無需費心保養，SG2鋼會是理想選擇；若您追求極致的薄刃與切割性能，且不介意每次使用後都仔細擦拭刀身，那麼 AS 便是您的首選。

SG2 鋼是來自武生的粉末不鏽鋼，硬度通常落在 62-64 HRC 之間。它兼具韌性與優異的抗腐蝕能力，因此每當處理酸性食材時，我總會優先選用這把刀。超級青鋼屬於高碳鋼，硬度通常較高，約在 64-66 HRC。它能磨出極致鋒利、足以削髮的刃口，鋒利度的維持性也略勝 SG2 鋼一籌，但若疏於保養便容易生鏽。
