Superior steel construction
What sets apart the A-Series
The full-tang blades in the set are made using a high-end Swedish Sandvik 12C27 steel. This stainless steel is not only hard but also quite resilient.
As such, it makes it possible for the blades to exhibit excellent resistance against wear and tear, dents, chipping, and even breaking. Therefore, dropping the blade accidentally in the kitchen is not likely to damage or break the blade.
This premier Swedish steel is not only stainless but also dos not get discolored, rust, or even corrode even after years of consistent use in the kitchen. The protective fine coating on the steel blade protects the knives from any acidic reactions on the blades after cutting through acidic foods.
What is more amazing about this steel is that it does not transfer scents, odors, or tastes from one piece of food to the other.
Expertly designed handle
Cangshan pays keen attention to the design of all their blades.
This is because they aim at making blades that are not only functional and have high performance but also those that chefs and cooks will fancy using. In line with this, the African Blackwood handle in the A-Series blades is ergonomically designed and shaped for easy and comfortable handling.
The handles boast of flexible designs that make it comfortable to have a firm and secure grip regardless of the hand size.
The streamlined shape of the handles provides or a non-slip effect when holding the knives even if the hands are wet. As such, you can use the knives for food preparation as you undertake other tasks in the kitchen such as rinsing vegetables.
