CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Cangshan Kita Series 2-Piece Starter Set is a refined pairing of cutting performance and elegant design, built to handle everyday prep with style and precision. Featuring a 6-inch chef’s knife and a 3.5-inch paring knife, this set covers the essential tools needed in any kitchen, from slicing vegetables and meats to peeling fruits or fine-detail prep. Each knife is forged from Cangshan’s proprietary X-7 Damascus steel, with 67 layers forming a durable, razor-sharp edge that holds up to repeated use.
The full-tang blades are hand-sharpened to deliver clean, precise cuts, and the hammered texture on the steel helps reduce drag by allowing food to fall away from the blade. Rated at 60 +/- 2 on the Rockwell scale, these knives strike the right balance between toughness and sharpness retention, making them dependable tools whether you're working on fine detail or heavy chopping.
Both knives are fitted with contoured octagonal handles made from tough G-10 fiberglass in a deep blue and black woodgrain pattern. The handle shape offers excellent control and comfort during long prep sessions, while the material resists wear and moisture. A single mosaic rivet adds a touch of traditional craftsmanship to the modern, performance-focused design.
The set comes housed in a sleek blue ash wood box that’s built to impress as much as it protects. Whether you’re setting up your first high-performance knife collection or upgrading your current gear, this 2-piece set is a reliable, eye-catching addition to your kitchen. Order it today from SMKW!
