Cangshan Helena Series 8” Bread Knife

Description

Cangshan’s Helena series knives are elegant and minimalist with sleek, smooth lines.  The slim semi-bolster balances the knife’s full tang and two stain-resistant rivets solidly fasten the ergonomic handle to the blade for a secure, comfortable grip.  Each blade is forged from high-alloy German X50CrMoV15 steel and is heat treated through Cangshan’s proprietary ULTRA6 heat treatment that adds strength and durability and a score of 58+/-2 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale.  They are sharpened to a precise 16° angle.

The 8” bread knife features saw-like teeth which slice crusty bread without crushing the soft interior.  It is also useful for bagels, pastry items, and tough-skinned fruits and 8” length allows it to slice large squashes and melons.
