The TN1 Series is a story of balance, precision and great design. The ideas presented are conversations in bold contrast and the continuous journey between subtle and sharp. A minimal, sleek hollow-handle design ensure these knives are well balanced, both aesthetically and in the chef's hand. Each knife is forged from high-alloy Swedish Sandvik® 14C28N Steel making the knives exceptionally durable and sharp. This proprietary fine grained steel is further enhanced with a precise 6 stage heat treatment process giving the metal a 59 +/- 2 Rockwell Hardness Rating. After 2 years of intense research and development Cangshan has perfected the exact heating and ice hardening process to ensure each blade can hold a sharp 16 degree Asian style edge and will keep that sharpness up to 5 times longer than comparable top brand knives currently in the market. Expertly handcrafted by adept bladesmiths Cangshan’s focused attention on quality ensure that these knives precisely and effectively perform their cutting functions, giving the user a responsive and refined tactile experience that both enhances and augments their skills and process. A bolster free design accommodates a natural, firm pinch grip commonly used among cooking professionals. While featuring a unique hollow handle design the knife handle utilizes subtle curves and rounded edges to create a comfortable, stable and secure grip for the user.
