Cangshan Thomas Keller Collection 7" Santoku

The Cangshan Thomas Keller Collection is remarkable for 2 reasons. First, the knives were meticulously designed with input from world-renowned Chef Thomas Keller to perfect the size, angles, bolster and handle. (And that's saying a lot). The second reason is equally compelling: Cangshan's Thomas Keller Collection is one of the very few culinary lines that are forged from Damasteel® RWL34 powdered steel.

The Cangshan Thomas Keller Collection 7" Santoku is a groundbreaking entry in the culinary knife market because its advanced blade steel offers exceptional hardness and edge retention, without sacrificing durability and chip-resistance. The TK Collection is tempered to a very hard 61° HRC, and features an extremely sharp 15° dual bevel edge that still resists chipping, edge-roll and the other edge deformations that make knives dull. The 7" Santoku has a subtle belly and hollow ground edge that promises extra clean slices with less drag and sticking. The partial bolster design and fantastically seamless handle design lets you grip comfortably however you choose. The knife is exceptionally well balanced and every seam is flush, earning it a NSF certification for use in professional kitchens. Chef Keller was instrumental in the design of this Santoku Knife, rigorously focusing on every detail to ensure it performs flawlessly. And it really shows.
Cangshan Cutlery is a Chinese Company and all manufacturing is done in their specialized factories in Yangjiang, China. The knives are hand polished and hand sharpened by expert bladesmiths, and the overall quality of build and finish is excellent. The Cangshan Thomas Keller Collection 7" Santoku is backed by the manufacturer's lifetime limited warranty.
