Overview

Not a full-size knife, this Cangshan Thomas Keller peeling blade is forged in Swedish powder steel and built short for close peeling work. The edge is plain and the handle is steel, both finished in white.

The reason to buy it is the compact forged blade and plain edge for controlled peeling work. The limitation is the shortness, which suits little beyond peeling, and the mixed steel descriptions: alloy steel for the blade, high carbon steel for the material.

Who it's for

Cooks who peel by hand and want a short, steady blade for it will find the size suited. Anyone after a general kitchen knife, or a clear steel specification, should choose a longer blade with a fuller listing.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Plain edge for peeling
  • Swedish powder steel blade
  • Short blade for close control
Cons
  • Steel type described inconsistently
  • Weight not listed
  • Too short for general prep
  • No sheath included

Performance notes

A blade this short puts the cutting edge nearly under the fingers, which lets the user turn produce against the edge with fine control. The plain edge slices skin cleanly. Steel hardness and edge angle are not stated, so edge life cannot be judged from the listing.
