Strong, reliable, and built to lead in the kitchen. Adam is the first knife you’ll reach for, and the last one you’ll ever need.
Adam is your go-to knife for just about everything in the kitchen. With a wide, curved blade and solid weight, it’s built for chopping vegetables, slicing meat, and handling bigger prep jobs with ease.
Adam has a Santoku-style shape, which means it has a slightly curved edge that helps you rock the blade smoothly as you cut. It’s not too heavy, but it feels strong and steady in your hand. Perfect for confident, everyday cooking.
Originally, we called this knife The One, because it really can do it all. Whether you're cooking dinner at home or prepping for a feast, Adam is the kind of knife you’ll keep reaching for.

Care Instructions
Dry your knife after each use to prevent rust. Oil the carbon steel using a food grade mineral oil. Avoid soaking & never put it in the dishwasher. For full care tips, visit: Knife Care Guide →
Steel Details
Made with high-carbon steel, heat-treated for a hard, sharp edge. Builds character over time and rewards simple care with a knife that keeps getting better.
How Each Knife Is Crafted
Forged Carbon Steel
Every knife starts as a bar of high carbon steel, its roughly shaped then heated in a coal forge and shaped under a power hammer by hand. No CNC, no laser cutting. Each blade is forged individually.
Heat-Treated for Performance
Each blade is differentially heat-treated to bring out the best in the steel. The edge is hardened for sharpness and retention, while the spine stays softer so it flexes under pressure instead of snapping.
Handcrafted Handle
Each handle is carved from padauk and hand planed until there are no rigid edges left. Sealed with shellac and glued to the tang, so blade and wood sit as one solid piece. No two handles are the same.
Sharpened by Hand
Every blade is hand-ground to form the edge, then refined on a whetstone for a polished, clean cut. Ready to use straight out of the box.
The knives are wonderful, clearly made with love and super light , the handles are well balanced to the weight of the knife and exactly what I wanted
We bought Adam as a gift for a friend’s special birthday, and she was absolutely delighted. The bonus for us is that she’ll now use it to make us delicious food — a win–win all round! The quality of the blade, handle, sheath, engraving, and packaging is exceptional, and the team were quick to answer questions. The only problem is that now we all want one. Highly recommend.
Awesome knives. Great service
Great feeling in the hand when using. And the look of the knife is beautiful. The engraving we got done is really classy too. We bought one for ourselves and another for an engagement present. Will be buying more in the future.
Adam
Adam is super sharp straight out of the box and looks amazing sitting on the chopping board. For cooks with big hands the height of the blade leaves plenty of room between the tang and the chopping board, making it really easy to get a good chop or rolling action. The carbon steel takes a little more care and effort but it’s definitely worth it! I’d highly recommend C&A knives!
Knife looks beautiful and super sharp straight out of the box. After first use and applocation of mineral oil the patina began to show. Ive found this knife to be the perfect all rounder!
Versatile knife for all types of ingredients . Nice and light weight and balanced knife. Great for the home cook!
This is the third lot of knives we have bought and they have all been brilliant
Great knife for all my home cooking needs! Sharp, stylish and a forever keepsake.
I have bought this as a gift and is a beautiful knife love the handle too.
I purchased this knife for my partner whose name is also Adam, so it was the perfect fit. We have been very pleased with the quality of the blade as well as the efficiency of shipping and communication.
The blade itself is beautiful and the wooden handle feels good to work with. It is clear it has been made with love and I look forward to purchasing more from this range.
Great knife and very happy with it.
The knives are a wedding gift for our daughter. they feel like they are excellent quality.
Great workhorse in the kitchen, lightweight for a larger knife but still has loads of leverage for difficult vegetables and fruit.
Great knife! Perfect balanced lovely and sharp with amazing looks as well
These knives are very light and so far so good athough I noticed some orange rust almost immediately on the blade after rinsing.
I’ve had Adam for a couple of weeks and I’m delighted so far. Well balanced, good weight and performs better than any other knife I’ve had. Just need to make sure it’s looked after by the family and doesn’t end up in the dishwasher.
Adam you are superbly balanced and just glide through food with ease.
Great knife was a present . Nephew loves it
Love Adam, well balanced and makes the job easy
I bought this as a wedding gift with engraving and I absolutely love it! And the couple are going to aswell! Thank you so much!
despite the "Wonderful" Australia post losing my parcel Cain & Abel went above and beyond in sorting out the problem and my daughter is loving using her birthday present. She says it's the best knife she has ever used
I only got gifted my knives on Sunday for Fathers Day and they are nice in the hand and very sharp, have already cut myself and my wifes eyes rolling around like she knew that would happen. Haven't used them very much as yet and hoping they stay sharp for some time yet.
Never thought slicing lemons would put a smile on my face! The Adam knife is just so perfect. :)
Love my new knife, would reccommend to anyone looking for a well priced premium knife. Holds a sharp edge for a long time and looks better and better as it ages.
These are awesome knives got the pair set for a gift to a friend and the personal engraving was just what I asked for.
Thanks guys will deffinately be ordering again for a knife or two of my own.
Unbelievable quality, better than they were marketed. I bought another one because of how much I loved them
Love it
A great addition to our growing collection of these stunning knives
So light, love this knife.
I don’t know if my expectations were too high or if I got a bad knife but I just feel like I was expecting the sharpest knife I’ve ever used and it’s not. A beautiful knife that deals great in the hand but still feel a bit of resistance slicing certain vegetables
Beautiful craftsmanship
Like slicing butter
Common Questions
What Is Carbon Steel?
Carbon steel is a type of metal made mostly from iron and a small amount of carbon. That carbon makes the steel harder, which means it can be sharpened to a very fine edge and stay sharp for longer. It's not stainless, so it can rust if left wet. With simple care, it lasts a long time and cuts really well. That’s why carbon steel is often used in high-quality knives.
Santoku vs Chef's Knife? What's The Difference?
A Santoku is shorter with a flatter edge. Built for chopping and push-cutting. A chef's knife is longer with a curved belly, made for a rocking motion.
How Do I Care For It?
Hand wash, dry straight away, don't put it in the dishwasher. If you're not using it for a while, a light coat of oil keeps it happy. More Here
Where is it made?
Like all our knives, it's hand crafted in Vietnam by a skilled blacksmith.We documented the full process here.
What's The Dark Finish On The Blade?
It's forge scale and its called a kurouchi finish in traditional knife making. A natural layer that forms when the blade is heated during heat treatment. It's not a coating, it won't chip off, and it helps reduce food sticking to the blade.
What Type Of Wood Is The Handle?
Padauk. Padauk is a strong hardwood known for its rich colour and toughness. It has a natural reddish tone that darkens beautifully over time. Because it’s dense and durable, Padauk makes a great knife handle. It holds up to everyday use, feels solid in your hand, and looks better the more you use it. It’s a mix of strength, beauty, and comfort.
