TKSC Series 10-Inch Chef's Knife, Forged Swedish Powder Steel, Thomas Keller Signature Collection, White, 1025385

I am always hesitant to buy knives that aren't from the major players, especially when they aren't the typical Japanese or German manufacturers. After reading a bit about the Cangshan process and business strategy I decided to give them a try. To say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement. Both of these knives performed extremely well. The TK definitely stood out, between the two but it was much more expensive, so I expected that. However, I also had the opportunity to try a Helena Series knife and that one rivaled, and may be even edged out the TK and is much more affordable. I currently own several minor brands to include the usual suspects (Mac, Global, Wusthof, Shun and Henckle) as well as a couple "boutiques". I cook a lot, so that'sy excuse 😂, although my wife thinks I have a problem. In any case, my Cangshan's have moved to front on my knife block.
