Cangshan's N1 Series: A Symphony of Balance and Precision

Revolutionizing Culinary Experience with High-Alloy Steel Knives

Unveiling the N1 Series by Cangshan, a collection of knives that perfectly blend functionality and design, offering a unique culinary experience. Inspired by the needs of creative communities, these knives are a testament to precision, balance, and sleek design.

Cangshan, a brand known for its passion in creating products that not only perform flawlessly but also resonate with the design aesthetics of today's creative communities, introduces the N1 Series. This collection of knives stands out for its minimal, sleek hollow-handle design that ensures balance and naturally fits a chef's grip. Each knife is forged from high-alloy steel, making it wear and stain-resistant with high edge retention. The steel is strong enough to allow the fine-edged blades to feature a keen Asian style edge.

The N1 Series is a story of balance and precision. The knives are securely housed in a wooden knife block designed to emphasize the lines and silhouette of the N1 Series. The block is made from Acacia wood, known for its water resistance and high durability, adding natural texture and warm tones to the narrative of the knife set. The collection includes an 8 inch Chef's Knife, 8 inch Serrated Knife, 7 inch Santoku Knife, 5 inch Serrated Utility Knife, and a 3.5 inch Paring Knife.

The blades are forged from German sourced Solingen high alloy steel [X50CrMoV15] and heat-treated and hardened to 58 +-2 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale. This gives the steel excellent wear and stain resistance and edge retention. The quality and craftsmanship of the knives ensure they precisely and effectively perform their cutting functions, providing a responsive and refined tactile experience that enhances and augments the user's skills and process.

The N1 Series has been recognized for its exceptional design and contribution to societal wellbeing, winning the Platinum A' Bakeware, Tableware, Drinkware and Cookware Design Award in 2017. This award recognizes world-class, exceptional, and highly innovative designs that showcase unmatched professionalism, genius, and contribute to societal wellbeing. The N1 Series is not just a collection of knives; it is a defining aesthetic of an era, advancing the boundaries of art, science, design, and technology.

The N1 Series is under patent pending, EFS ID#23376398, Application #29538208, ensuring the unique properties and design of these knives are protected. Cangshan's N1 Series is more than just a set of knives; it's a revolution in the culinary world, offering a unique blend of functionality, design, and a refined tactile experience.
