STEELPORT knives are handcrafted through a solid one-piece traditional drop forged construction, extending from blade tip to end cap, incorporating an integral bolster. This design ensures a well-balanced knife. STEELPORT’s proprietary differential heat treatment applied to American 52100 Carbon Steel achieves a robust dual hardness profile: a blade with a remarkable 65HRC for sustained sharpness with easy sharpenability, and a softer 30HRC spine for durability. This meticulous process, along with a hand-polished bolster and spine, combines strength with ergonomic comfort.
The curved blade and 1” heel of the STEELPORT 10” Slicer allows for more knuckle clearance on the board and is great for the portioning and trimming cuts classically used with a cimeter.
This longer 10” length prevents a sawing motion to achieve cleaner cuts. The tip of the STEELPORT slicer is sharpened, making it effective when trimming meat and fish.
The handles are contoured to accommodate any hand, offering a unique 2″ height at the blade heel for finger clearance. For all STEELPORT handles, we use Oregon Big Leaf Maple Burl, a locally sourced, naturally unique burl wood, stabilized with resin to meet tough kitchen requirements and won’t shrink or swell.
