Is the Cangshan Oliv set worth $159.95?

You get two forged 14C28N knives with olive wood handles, a steel that usually costs more in this class. If you want a chef's and paring knife and will hand wash them, the price is reasonable; if you need a block or more pieces, look elsewhere.

Is 14C28N steel good for kitchen knives?

Yes. It is a Swedish high-alloy stainless steel known for good edge retention, toughness and rust resistance. At 59 HRC it sharpens without being brittle.

Can these knives go in the dishwasher?

No. Cangshan specifies hand wash only. Dishwasher heat and detergent can dry out and crack the olive wood handles and dull the edges.

What is included in the set?

An 8-inch chef's knife and a 3.5-inch paring knife. No block, sheath or storage is included.

How should I care for the olive wood handles?

Wash and dry by hand right after use, and rub the wood with a food-safe mineral oil every few months to keep it from drying.

When is the price lowest?
