SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Cangshan Maya Series 2.5" Fixed Blade Peeling Knife is built for precision work, where control and sharpness matter most. Crafted from Cangshan’s proprietary X-7 Damascus steel, the compact 2.5" blade delivers a razor-sharp edge that’s perfect for peeling, trimming, and detailed prep. The layered Damascus not only looks striking—it brings real performance, offering edge retention and durability that hold up under constant use.
What sets this knife apart is the balance of craftsmanship and materials. The blade flows seamlessly into a refined octagonal handle made from African blackwood, one of the densest and most resilient hardwoods available. It offers a solid, confident grip with a natural feel that improves with use. Whether you're carving tight corners into fruit or handling delicate garnishes, this knife stays steady and comfortable in hand.
To protect the blade and complement its aesthetic, the knife includes a custom-fit African blackwood sheath. It’s more than just functional—it’s a nod to traditional knife-making that respects the integrity of the materials. Compact enough for portability but bold enough to earn a spot on any prep station, this knife proves that small tools can still carry serious weight in the kitchen.
Made with care and intended for those who appreciate fine materials and razor-sharp utility, the Maya Series peeling knife is a refined piece of gear that doesn’t sacrifice performance for looks.
