SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Cangshan TV2 Series 8" Chef's Knife is a pure expression of form meeting function—timeless in appearance, yet advanced in material and performance. Designed to elevate the everyday workhorse of the kitchen, this knife showcases clean lines and enduring quality. It’s a tool that honors the tradition of craftsmanship while embracing modern innovation, built for chefs who demand sharpness, balance, and lasting durability.
At its core is high-alloy Swedish 14C28N steel, a premium material prized for its fine grain structure, superior edge retention, and corrosion resistance. This full-tang blade is forged, not stamped, ensuring maximum strength and balance. Thanks to Cangshan’s rigorous ULTRA6 heat treatment process, the edge holds up to five times longer than standard German X50CrMoV15 steel, staying razor-sharp through extended use. With an HRC of 59 ±2 on the Rockwell scale, this knife delivers a rock-solid performance day in and day out.
The 8" chef’s knife is the cornerstone of any serious kitchen setup. Its slightly curved blade profile allows for both rocking and push-cutting techniques, offering full versatility for slicing proteins, chopping vegetables, mincing herbs, or tackling harder root produce. The broad blade design adds weight for a confident cut and makes food transfer from board to pan fast and easy.
The black ergonomic handle is crafted for comfort and control, designed to sit naturally in your hand and reduce fatigue through long prep sessions. A patented design, it’s sleek without sacrificing grip, well-balanced without feeling bulky. The simplicity of the silhouette is matched by the utility it provides—a knife that feels like a natural extension of your hand.
To protect this premium tool, each TV2 chef’s knife comes with a carbonized solid ash wood sheath. With a half-open magnetic design, the sheath securely locks to the spine of the blade, keeping both edge and fingers safe during storage or transport. NSF certification ensures professional-grade safety standards, and Cangshan backs the knife with a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects. Order it today from SMKW!
