This is because the handles feature shiny metal construction with a ring-like hollow space. The handles are uniquely easy to grip and are gentle on the hands due to the smooth edges.
What is more amazing about the handles is that they feature a streamlined design with the base of the handle being wider than the bolster. This in turn provides for a non-slip grip.
The patent-pending design of the handle focuses on the ergonomics of the handle thereby providing firm and secure grips for all hand sizes.
The simplicity of the handle makes it ideal for all types of chefs including those working in busy restaurants as well as amateur chefs and cooks.
Amazing 6-piece knife set
While it does not come with a wide variety of blades like other Cangshan Series knives do, the N1 set has the basic knives that you will need for all your food preparation needs.
The set comes with a 7-inch Santoku, 8-inch chef’s, 8-inch bread, 3.5-inch paring, and 5-inch serrated blades. These knives feature a striking similarity in that they are not only durable and solidly constructed but are also sufficiently long for their intended tasks.
The blades in the Cangshan N1 Series are made from German (X50Cr15MoV) steel with a Rockwell Hardness of 58 +/- thereby making it hard and strong. As such, you can use the knives to cut through a variety of food items including those with hard and tough shells.
Additionally, these blades are not affected by acidity in food and neither do they rust nor corrode.

You do not need to invest in any special sharpeners here. This is because these blades are easy to sharpen using standard sharpeners including whetstones, sharpening steel rods, and electric sharpeners.
Also, there is no complex sharpening process involved when sharpening N1 Series knives in the usual way that you sharpen ordinary blades.
