Cangshan’s Helena series knives are elegant and minimalist with sleek, smooth lines. The slim semi-bolster balances the knife’s full tang and two stain-resistant rivets solidly fasten the ergonomic handle to the blade for a secure, comfortable grip. Each blade is forged from high-alloy German X50CrMoV15 steel and is heat treated through Cangshan’s proprietary ULTRA6 heat treatment that adds strength and durability and a score of 58+/-2 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale. They are sharpened to a precise 16° angle.
The 8” chef’s knife is an essential, much used, versatile kitchen tool. This blade is designed for both push cuts and the popular rocking motion. Use it to slice, dice, mince, and chop a wide variety of meats, vegetables, and fruits. The wider blade serves to maintain control for straight top-to-bottom cuts through tougher foods such as root vegetables. Its length is a comfortable and nimble extension of your hand.
