Swedish SANDVIK^® 14C28N Steel

This exceptional high-alloy, fine grained steel is utilised in all of Cangshan’s premier knife lines. The fine grain of the material means a more stable internal structure which is why the steel is able to improve so much during heat treatment becoming hard enough to take a keen 16 degree angle without any of the brittleness common to other hard steels. This makes an incredibly sharp knife that will not chip and stays sharp longer between sharpening.

Cangshan has strategically partnered with Swedish company Sandvik, a 155 year old, 9 billion dollar company that specialises in metal cutting tooling, mining and construction solutions and advance stainless steels and special alloys.
