Forged from high-alloy 14C28N Swedish Steel, the Cangshan Cutlery Oliv Series Forged 6-in. Chef's Knife is razor sharp, hearty in design and exceptionally well-balanced. The blade has excellent stain resistance and holds an edge up to five times longer than German steel. The chef's knife is one of the kitchen's most essential and versatile tools. Designed for both push cuts and the popular rocking motion, this blade is perfectly shaped for slicing, dicing, mincing and chopping a wide variety of meats, vegetables and fruits. The wider blade on the chef's knife assists in maintaining control for a straight top-to-bottom cut through tougher foods, like starchy root vegetables.

The Oliv Series offers a modern update of the traditional European aesthetic featuring a robust handle crafted from solid olivewood with a stunning wood grain, making every knife unique. The 6-in. length makes for a comfortable and nimble extension of the hand. Each blade goes through Cangshan Cutlery's proprietary Ultra6 heat treatment for incredible strength and durability, scoring a 59 +/- 2 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale. Model: 501578.
