Cangshan A Series 3 pc Starter Knife Set Forged Swedish Steel African Blackwood handle 61901

The Cangshan A Series 3-Piece Starter Knife Set is a refined combination of precision craftsmanship, high-performance steel, and timeless natural materials. Designed for those who take cooking seriously, this set delivers the kind of edge retention, control, and durability that seasoned chefs expect, all housed in a stunning form that elevates any kitchen.

Each blade is forged from premium Swedish Sandvik 14C28N steel—renowned for its fine grain structure and exceptional edge retention. Thanks to Cangshan's proprietary ULTRA6 heat treatment process, these knives hold a razor-sharp edge up to five times longer than traditional German steel blades. Every blade is hand-sharpened to a precise 16-degree angle per side, striking a perfect balance between sharpness and edge durability. Rated at 59 ±2 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale, these blades are engineered to stand up to demanding kitchen tasks without compromise.

What sets the A Series apart is its striking African Blackwood handle. One of the hardest woods on the planet, African Blackwood is dense, durable, and naturally moisture-resistant. Its deep, dark grain contrasts beautifully with the clean lines of the blade, offering a warm, tactile grip that looks as good as it feels. The full tang design ensures strength and balance throughout each knife, allowing for confident, fatigue-free handling whether you’re slicing, dicing, or mincing.

This 3-piece set includes three essential kitchen tools: an 8-inch chef’s knife for heavy-duty prep, a 5-inch serrated utility knife for tackling crusty bread or soft fruits, and a 3.5-inch paring knife for precision tasks. Each knife is housed in a custom wooden storage box with a hinge-locking lid to keep the blades protected and organized. It’s a complete, compact set that makes a bold impression and a lasting impact.

Certified by NSF International and backed by a limited lifetime warranty, the Cangshan A Series 3-Piece Set brings professional-level tools to the home kitchen in a package that balances elegance, performance, and rugged dependability.

Whether you're prepping dinner or mastering a new recipe, the Cangshan A Series offers precision tools you can rely on—day in and day out. Order yours today from SMKW!
