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 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.
