Review on Cangshan TS 1020885 Swedish Sandvik 14C28N Steel 17-Piece Knife Block Set with Walnut Handle by Heidi Garcia

First the answer to the most important question, because on this page and even on the manufacturer's page there are contradictory statements. As of October 2020, Cangshan TS series knife block steak knives have NO serrated PURPOSE. I would have loved this set anyway but was glad to know they weren't serrated as serrated steak knives are usually a sign of a poor quality knife that shouldn't hold a sharp edge. On the other hand, they are very sharp, very well balanced and very well made. The knife block is also beautiful and well made. Remember these are not your cheap Cuisinart 310 stainless steel knives that will never rust. It's a high-carbon steel that sacrifices rust resistance for better knife properties like longer blade retention, ease of sharpening, and chip resistance. These are very good knives. Treat them as they are and not like cheap cutlery that you throw in the dishwasher to clean and I imagine they will last a very long time.
