Cangshan Thomas Keller Signature 8-Inch Bread Knife - Swedish Powder Steel Forged, Professional Chef Knife for Sourdough, Baguettes & Artisan Breads - Perfect for Home Bakers & Culinary Enthusiasts

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.
