TODAY Magazine WORLD RENOWNED MICHELIN STARRED CHEF THOMAS KELLER In 2018 Cangshan Cutlery and Chef Thomas Keller have come together to begin a new chapter in the world of cutlery. Cangshan's uncompromising vision to develop the finest knives in the marketplace and Chef Keller’s continuous drive for innovation has resulted in an exclusive partnership that will allow them to develop beautiful and functional knives for home cooks and professional chefs. Now Cangshan and chef Keller come together with the same ideas about premium materials, the precision of craftsmanship and an eye towards design to create something truly unique in the world of cutlery. Cangshan knives are now being utilized at chef Keller’s critically acclaimed and award winning, Michelin starred restaurants. “How the knife feels in the hand was extremely important. A knife’s blade is really sharp so you have to be careful with the knife. We wanted to make sure when a consumer grips the knife, they felt secure. I also need the weight of the knife to be balanced and need to be able to grip it close to the heel of a knife, so I want a smooth, thin bolster. This design also enables it to sharpen easily.” Chef Thomas Keller, The French Laundry PREMIUM MATERIALS, EXCEPTIONAL CRAFTSMANSHIP, AWARD WINNING DESIGN PREMIUM MATERIALS, EXCEPTIONAL CRAFTSMANSHIP, AWARD WINNING DESIGN The multiple award winning Thomas Keller Signature Collection by Cangshan is a model of precision and craftsmanship. Slim, sleek and exceptionally well balanced these knives have been meticulously designed with Michelin starred chef Thomas Keller to ensure each knife performs perfectly in their distinct function. Sharp, bold angles create a keen focus on the stunning silhouette and minimalism of the knife. Each knife is forged from Swedish Damasteel RWL34 Powdered Steel, an extraordinarily finely grained, high alloy steel known for its excellent edge strength, hardness and corrosion resistance. After a precise six stage ULTRA6 heat treatment these knives have a Rockwell Hardness Rating of 61 +/- 2 which means they can take an incredibly sharp edge. The internal structure of the steel gives the knives remarkable edge retention without the brittleness commonly associated with harder steels. DAMASTEEL RWL34 POWDERED STEEL Powdered metallurgy had a long and fascinating history before gaining large scale acceptance in the 1900s when it became a viable means to produce tungsten filaments for light bulbs. The process allows for the creation of alloys that are impossible to create through traditional forging. Powdered metals are thoroughly blended allowing for finely tuned control of the density and properties of the subsequent alloy. The powdered metal mixture is then compressed and sintered in a controlled atmosphere. Sintering is the process where high heat is applied to the solid materials causing them to bond and form an alloy without ever becoming molten. This allows metals with high melting points to be uniformly bonded together creating alloy steels designed to exact specifications. Damasteel RWL34 Powdered Steel offers high edge strength, durability and high corrosion resistance. GOOD DESIGN Aesthetics must push into function. Every curve and angle is used to ensure a secure and comfortable hold on the handle. Our knives are exceptionally well balanced and every seam is flush. This means our knives feel great to grip and hold, work well for heavy kitchen use and are easy to keep clean and sanitary. The Thomas Keller Signature Collection has won a 2019 Red Dot Award, 2020 German Design Award and a 2020 iF Design Award for the exquisite craftsmanship and design of the knifeline. HEAT TREATMENT It took 3+ years of research and development to dial in the specific heat treatment process that would ensure our knives are both hard enough to take a sharp 16 degree edge, yet durable enough to keep that sharp edge during heavy kitchen use. Every blade goes through our precise ULTRA6 heat treatment which brings out the best qualities of each steel and gives the knives a Rockwell hardness rating of 61 +/-2, allowing the blade to take a remarkably sharp edge. HANDCRAFTED At the end of the day a knife needs to perform. All Cangshan knives proudly can do just that. The quality and craftsmanship of the knives ensure they precisely and effectively perform their cutting functions giving the user a responsive and refined tactile experience that enhances and augments their skills and process. Every knife from Cangshan is handcrafted and hand sharpened, these are real, passionate artisans creating beautiful, functional tools.
