CangshanTS Series 1020823 Swedish 14C28N Steel Forged 5-Inch Santoku Knife and Wood Sheath Set

It's beautifully designed and crafted. Ergonomics are great. It's the perfect size for those jobs when a regular chef's knife is too large and unwieldy and a paring knife is just too small to get the job done. It has held its edge exceedingly well and has stayed nice and sharp. 5 inches is an odd, sort of in between size for a knife so its usability is slightly limited but I enjoy using it.

This is a high quality knife that feels good in your hand. It is very sharp and so far has kept its edge and is staying sharp. The wooden case gives it a very high sense of value. When you pick up that wood case to use the knife you feel you are removing something of high value. Company made a very smart move to include it. Not hard to keep something like this. You want to hand wash and dry it after you use it.

Very well made knife. I like it so much that I bought another one for my mom

Sharp knive- had to get used to the magnatic sheath- but like it now. Sturdy good weight.

After using the knife for the last several weeks, I can attest that the knife is in fact, sharp and a high quality. Handle is comfortable to use. I am unable to tell a difference between this knife and others that I own that are 2 to 3 times the price. Overall, I am a happy customer and believe that this kitchen knife is a good value for your money.

The 14C28N steel was my primary draw. It was the only knife I could find that listed the specific steel; most others were "Stainless Steel", or German Stainless or some other generic term. I have a Fabreware with the same design in "Stainless". I ordered the Cangshan because I thought it would give me better edge retention. I mean a $90 dollar knife should outperform a $9 knife; but so far it hasn't.

This is a review of "Cangshan TS Series 1020823 Swedish 14C28N Steel Forged 5-Inch Santoku Knife and Wood Sheath Set"I love this little knife! It feels so good and solid in the hand. I like the wooden sheath that has built in magnets to not only hold the blade in place, but can also be used to post your knife anywhere you can stick a magnet. It is extremely sharp and well balanced. The little indentations on the blade help prevent your food from sticking to the blade. I have used this for almost all my slicing and carving needs since receiving it. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic knife. Very sharp, great ergonomics in terms of handle, attractive. This has become my go-to for kitchen prep.
