Never heard of this brand, but that alone shouldn't discount them. What is worrying is the steel, Sandvik 14C28N, which for a long time was exclusive to Kershaw. I've never seen this steel used outside of pocket knives, and it's mostly still only used Kershaw or affiliated knives.
Cangshan could very well be the first cutlery manufacture to use this well regarded steel, or they could be lying. Seeing as how the latter is frighteningly common for cutlery manufactured in China I'm not willing to give these knives a chance.

FriedShoeHello!
We definitely appreciate your concerns as there are indeed plenty of fly by night companies that misrepresent what they are doing. We have entered into an agreement with Sandvik to purchase quite a bit of this raw material over the next 5 years. In fact we were just at their factory in Sweden last month to finalize some of the details of our commitment to them. This steel is definitely more complex to forge and harden than a lot of other kitchen knife steels which is probably why it hasn't been done on such a large scale before, plus it is more expensive to begin with. We have an advantage in that we actually own our factory so we are able to control every aspect of the forging process. We stand behind every one of our products with a 100% no questions asked guarantee. Hope this helps you decide to give us a shot!
