Cangshan Thomas Keller Signature Collection Swedish Powder Steel Forged, 7-Piece Magnetic Knife Set, White

These knives are beautiful, Comfortable in your hand, well-balanced, and incredibly sharp. I don’t know whether it’s the steel they use or the Japanese style 16°Edge that they put on these blades, But every home chef friend who has tried one of these wants to know where to get them. The price is a little daunting at first but I’m now seeing many-piece bargain sets that may help justify the cost. I bought the seven-piece set that includes the magnetic hanger bar and for me this was a good way to go, better for keeping the knives sharp than sticking them in a knife block. Who needs another set of steak knives anyway?. One caveat is that I haven’t tried sharpening them. The qualities that give them a long lasting sharp edge from the factory may be difficult to VERY reproduce by hand. But I’m happy to cross that bridge when I come to it

I loved this item and I was very happy with the results

I have had this set of knives on my wish list for some time before I decided to go ahead with an order, but I am totally underwhelmed by them. The presentation is very shoddy and cheap, which is unacceptable given the very high rrp for these knives, which also arrived with the tip protectors missing in some cases and without cardboard sleeves protecting the rest of the blades. It looks as though I could have received someone else’s return as the knives just don’t have that new, nicely wrapped appearance.Furthermore, the knives just don’t have a great feel in the hand; the balance isn’t great and I am just generally disappointed. I accept some of my concern could be due to the fact these have all appearances of being someone else’s reject, but the knives just don’t strike me as being great quality. They were available at quite a big discount to their cost when I first saw them, which was why I took the plunge now, but I don’t feel they are worth even that discounted price.

I have long dreamed of owning an high quality, sharp, sleek Knife Set, so when I saw this stunning set available on the Vine Program I didn’t hesitate in ordering it so that I could out it through its paces and see if it lived up to expectations.The set is designed by Michelin-starred chef Thomas Keller and crafted by the cutlery maker Cangshan, so I knew it was going to be a premium set and I wasn’t wrong in any way.The set comes extremely well packaged in two boxes, one contains the magnetic walnut wall bar and the other all the knives which are individually wrapped within to ensure everything arrives in perfect condition and this is a lovely touch and much appreciated.The craftsmanship and supreme quality of these products is the highest imaginable and they really are a joy to look at and use. You receive the following knives;* 3 1/2" paring knife* 7" utility knife* 8" chef's knife* 10" chef's knife* 10" bread knife* 10 1/2" carving knifePlus the 18” Walnut magnetic knife barThe knives are all full tang (meaning the blades go all the way along the whole knife) and they are forged from Swedish Damasteel RWL34 powdered steel, this gives them excellent edge strength, hardness and corrosion resistance. They have a Rockwell hardness of 61 which gives the blades extremely super sharp edges and they are hand polished and hand sharpened by expert blade smiths.They are all perfectly balanced and weighted and each has Chef Keller’s signature on it which gives it a classy touch.To say this live up to my expectations is an understatement of the highest order, this by far the most beautiful and perfect set of knives I have ever seen, let alone owned!! There really is nothing to fault at all with this set and the walnut magnetic wall bar is the icing on the cake, giving you a stunning way to not only store the knives but to display them to beat effect as they are designed to be on show and not rammed into a nasty knife block as so often happens with cheaper sets.This really is a premium quality, professional level knife set and at £575.95 (price at time of review) they are excellent value for money, when considering I spent almost £100 on one carving knife in the past (this is also a superb level Damascus Steel knife to clarify)Overall this set ticks every box and then some and I cannot find a single fault with it at all. This set is designed to last a lifetime, and I have no doubt that this will most definitely prove to be the case here, I think these knives will still be going strong in 100 years time, when I will no longer be around! I haven’t any hesitation at all in giving them a full 5 star rating and I cannot recommend them any higher, they are simply superb!I hope that this review has been helpful to you in deciding whether this is the right product for you.

Forged, lightweight, heat treated Damasteel with full-tang, blade to handle construction, of those knifes can make them real competition against other leading brands!Fine and very sharp cutting blade hardened using 6-stage metal work can assure spotless edge retention without the brittleness of damask steel specification makes those knifes very nice tool for any kitchen!Nicely balanced. Exaple:Chefs big knife weight is 235g which is nearly 250g upper pro range class weight!Feels strong and durable same should be true corrosion resistant due to technology and the metal blends used!Magnetic wall knife bar is decent quality made and styled for rustical marble wooden kitchen!There is few nicks here and there but nothing much serious or problematic but this is the whole beauty with handmade handcrafted knifes!Sadly, one and only downside of this brilliant fine piece of workmanship is that the knifes paper cardboard packaging is not the way to secure loose knifes and knife edging in the box so this just could be better secured! Also there is no signature signed laser engraved walnut storage box included in this set as described in the listing so need updating.Overall, I would recommend this product to anyone interested in to investing in his kitchen regardless it will be a home cook semi or pro chef, anyone

This set of knives and magnetic board are packaged well. Inside the box are two boxes; one containing the walnut knife holder, and the other containing the knives - which are protectively wrapped. The set contains six knives, which are full tang - meaning that the blades extend through the whole knife. This means the knives have both more durability and balance, as well as making the knives weightier than partial tang ones. Due to being more balanced, these full tang knives are less likely to make your wrists tired, which is good if you're planning to use these knives for extended periods of time.The knives look very elegant and sleek, especially when attached my magnet onto the walnut holder (which comes with holes in the back and screws so it can be attached onto a wall). They come very sharp, cutting easily.Their Rockwell hardness rating of the steel is ~61, anything above mid-50s is considered hard. This means the knives will last longer between sharpening than softer steels.The set contains a paring knife, utility knife, two chef's knives (different lengths), a bread knife and a carving knife. The bread knife has a serrated edge, to cut easily through crusts, etc. Its sharpness and serration means it doesn't squash the bread when slicing it, which is great.Being vegan, I seldom use the carving knife as I don't have to tackle tough pieces of meat yet with it's sharpness I imagine it is highly suitable.Overall, the quality of the knives is remarkable. They are incredibly sharp, have a great hardness, and look great too.

I love my Cangshan 8 inch chef knife, but this takes my kitchen dreams into whole new realms.It is no exaggeration to say that this is the finest set of knives I have ever owned, every single one of these knives is hand crafted and it shows, the attention to detail is amazing and the knives are perfectly balanced, beautiful to look at and amazing to use, I've only managed to use four of them so far but based on the knives I have used, my kitchen time will keep getting easier and more enjoyable.Being made from powdered steel these are not cheap knives, but they are cheap for what they are and any chef would be proud to have these in their kitchen so I am absolutely delighted.The coup de grace is the elegant walnut magnetic knife holder, it just looks so right with all the knives neatly arranged there.
