STEELPORT Knife Co.
“The Best Made-in-USA Kitchen Knife” – Gear Patrol
The chef knife is the most important tool in your knife kit, used for 90%+ of kitchen tasks. Highly regarded for its meticulous construction, outstanding blade edge retention, and thoughtful ergonomics, the STEELPORT Chef Knife has garnered the attention of cooking enthusiasts and world-class chefs alike.
With its thin but sturdy, fully polished blade, rounded spine and choil, recessed finger groove, and double beveled edge, the STEELPORT Chef Knife is incredibly versatile and balanced. The combination of finesse and durability makes this knife ideal for any cutting style, such as slicing, rocking, or pushcutting, versatile enough for meat, fish, vegetables, and herbs.
The build is deceptively simple.
After forging a single rod of American 52100 Carbon Steel, STEELPORT's proprietary differential heat treatment process produces an outstanding 65 HRC at the blade edge making this one of the hardest blades in production for superior edge retention, along with a soft 30 HRC spine ensuring durability.
Each gorgeous Oregon Big Leaf Maple Burl wood handle is resin-stabilized and hand-shaped for exceptional comfort and unmatched performance in tough kitchen environments.
A final coffee patina (yes, the blade is literally submerged in hot coffee) reacts with the steel to provide an initial layer of protection on the blade, and creates a beautiful dark dual-tone color that is uniquely STEELPORT.
Razor sharp, precision balanced, and just an overall joy to use, our Chef Knife stands testament to hundreds of years of traditional knife forging reinforced with the ingenuity of modern craftsmanship. Touted by world-class chefs such as Paul Kahan, Gabriel Rucker, Elias Cairo, Katy Millard, Chris Bianco, and Aaron Franklin.
