Cangshan Knives

Innovative Design

A chef wants a connection with the tools they use. Some prefer a light, nimble knife while others work better with a heavy, large-handled knife. Culinary professionals, home chefs, foodies, and cooking enthusiasts also want their tools to aesthetically connect with their stories. This is the reason we have 32 patented designs, some of which feature our unique, patented angled bolster that perfectly accommodates a natural, firm pinch grip. 

Aesthetics must push into function. Every curve and angle is used to ensure a secure and comfortable hold on the handle, making the knife become a natural extension of one's arm. Our knives are exceptionally well balanced and every seam is flush. This means our knives feel great to grip and hold, work well for heavy kitchen use, and are easy to keep clean and sanitary. These knives provide razor sharpness, robust durability, and incredible comfort to the user.

Cangshan was created from a love and passion for innovative design, that perfect balance between forward-thinking aesthetics that speak to the design conversations happening in the market right now and the foundational, practical function needed by professional and home chefs. Knives are essential, so we have designed and crafted our knives with purpose and have kept them elemental in their form and function.

This exceptional high-alloy, fine-grained steel is utilized in all of Cangshan's premier knife lines. The fine grain of the material means a more stable internal structure, which is why the steel is able to improve so much during heat treatment and becomes hard enough to take a keen 16-degree angle without any of the brittleness common to other hard steels. This makes an incredibly sharp knife that will not chip and stays sharp longer between sharpening.

Cangshan has strategically partnered with a Swedish company, a 155-year-old, nine-billion-dollar company that specializes in metal cutting, tooling, mining and construction solutions, advanced stainless steels, and special alloys. With 43,000 employees, 8,000 active patents, and continuous investment into R&D, they have become industry leaders, dedicated to creating excellent value and effective solutions for their clients. Working with successful, premier brands has earned a strong reputation for innovation, smart solutions, and a commitment to quality.
