Compact, controlled, and beautifully crafted. The Cangshan MAYA Series 6" Chef’s Knife delivers everyday versatility with the precision of a smaller blade.

The details

Handcrafted by award-winning cutlery maker Cangshan, the MAYA collection is a celebration of beauty, precision, and performance. This 6-inch chef’s knife is designed for agility and control—perfect for smaller prep tasks like slicing vegetables, trimming meats, and quick chopping.

Forged from 67 layers of proprietary X-7 Damascus steel, the blade offers exceptional sharpness, durability, and edge retention. Hand-sharpened to a precise 16° angle, it ensures clean, effortless cuts, while a Rockwell hardness of 60 ±1 maintains long-lasting performance.

The octagonal African blackwood handle provides a secure, comfortable grip with a refined, natural finish—balanced to feel like an extension of your hand.

Each knife includes a dark walnut magnetic sheath, designed to protect the blade while elevating storage and presentation.
