Cangshan OLIV Chefs Knife

Swedish 14C28N steel is a high-alloy stainless steel known for its exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. It strikes a balance between being hard enough to hold a razor-sharp edge and tough enough to resist chipping during regular kitchen use.

Yes, because olivewood is a natural material, it should be hand-washed and dried immediately after use. To keep the wood from drying out over time, you can occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil to the handle.

Absolutely. The 8-inch blade profile is designed with a gentle curve that facilitates a smooth rocking motion for mincing herbs, while the flat portion of the blade provides the stability needed for precise push cuts.

The OLIV series is engineered to feel nimble in the hand. While it is robust enough for heavy-duty tasks, the weight distribution is centered toward the bolster, which provides excellent control and reduces wrist fatigue during extended prep sessions.

The lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and craftsmanship under normal kitchen use. It does not cover damage caused by misuse, such as cutting frozen foods, prying, or putting the knife in the dishwasher.
