Description

Designed for dependable, everyday performance, the ALPS Series combines classic construction with durable, easy-to-maintain materials. Each solid-steel blade is forged from German X50CrMoV15 stainless steel and heat treated to a 58 Rockwell hardness for sharpness, durability, and reliable edge retention. Full-tang construction provides strength and balance, while the angled full bolster creates a smooth transition between the blade and handle. The contoured synthetic handle is shaped for a comfortable grip. This set comes with a plastic knife sheath for your carving knife for convenient storage each individual knife is a protective plastic sheath for convenient storage.

The 9-inch carving knife features a long, narrow blade with a hollow edge that can slice through large pieces of meat using a single, smooth cut without tearing or shredding.

The 6-inch Carving Fork is a perfect companion to the carving knife, allowing you to effortlessly anchor and control the food being cut. The fork’s tines are long and connected to an ergonomic handle, which provides a secure grip and keeps your hand a safe distance away from your carving knife while slicing.

    Absolutely The Best knives on the world

    I recently received this knife set from Cangshan and I am absolutely thrilled with these knives..I use the Come-apart Shears for e very meat I cut.. they cut thru bones on my wings just like it's cutting paper..no effort needed.. for cleaning they are the best.. just pull them apart and you can wash them,set them back together..the steak knives are perfect with every meal..The paring knife is lightweight and hold easily when peeling and vegetable especially potatoes..I love the Santoku knife and the Chef's knife for everything I cut ..onions,carrots.. it does a wonderful slicing job. Makes time cutting and skicing in half the time..They are both easy to hold..Best and highest quality knives!! Very well balanced..I’ve never had to sharpened them yet but there is a Honing sharpener and if needed I'll be using it.. they are washed in the dishwasher and so far there is no rust.. I would definitely recommend these knives to anyone. They come in white and black handles..very sleek and beautiful design..Than you Cangshan 😘

    Great knife at low price.

    Gave this knife to a woman I like and she cried. Tip cuts through kiwi skins like butter. Love the handle too.

    Beautiful set

    This is the first set of knives I have ever owned. After years of mismatched cheap knives, I finally found a set I was willing to spend the money on. The knives are shape and the weight is perfect. The handle design is comfortable and allows for ease of use.

    I have only had them for a couple of weeks, even though they are white nothing I’ve chopped up has stained the handles. Only time will tell how well they hold up.

    Small knife review

    I purchased this set plus another knife. I dropped the small knife, and the tip of it bent. I’ve never had this happen before, even with less expensive knives. I haven’t used the others, so I’m not able to provide a review for those.
