Cangshan V2 Series 9.5" Chef's Knife Forged German Steel Black Handle 59182

Built to tackle the most demanding prep tasks with ease, the Cangshan V2 Series 9.5" Chef’s Knife elevates the standard kitchen knife with precision engineering and rugged performance. As the cornerstone of the V2 Series, this chef’s knife is designed to offer exceptional versatility, edge retention, and comfort—delivering both substance and style for cooks who value efficiency without compromise.

Forged from premium X50CrMoV15 German steel, the full tang blade delivers a tough, razor-sharp edge with excellent stain resistance and long-lasting durability. The blade undergoes Cangshan’s proprietary ULTRA6 heat treatment process to optimize hardness and flexibility, followed by hand sharpening to a precise 16-degree edge on each side. With a Rockwell Hardness rating of 58 ±2, this knife is built for continuous, high-performance use without dulling quickly.

At 9.5 inches, the blade offers a longer cutting surface than standard chef’s knives, making it ideal for handling larger ingredients like roasts, melons, and bulk vegetables. The fine-tuned curve of the edge allows for both efficient rocking cuts and clean push cuts, while a scalloped and serrated section near the bolster adds extra grip for slicing through tougher textures.

The full bolster not only protects your fingers but provides a solid balance point, enhancing control during repetitive chopping tasks. The durable black polymer handle is contoured to fit naturally in the hand, offering a comfortable, slip-resistant grip even during extended use. It pairs perfectly with the forged steel blade, giving the knife a streamlined, professional aesthetic.

Whether you're trimming herbs or breaking down larger proteins, this 9.5" chef’s knife gives you the added length and control needed for precision work at scale. Designed with purpose and built to last, it’s the kind of knife that becomes indispensable in any serious kitchen. Order it today from SMKW!
