“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, this knife is ideal for any cutting style such as slicing, rocking or pushcutting, versatile enough for meat, fish, vegetables and herbs, making this the ideal blade for either collector or minimalist.
The build is deceptively simple. High quality carbon steel and burlwood has been expertly processed and treated to meet remarkable requirements and deliver unmatched performance. Our unique differential heat treatment process produces an outstanding 65 HRC making this one of the hardest blades in production while retaining the durability of softer steel.
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, Gabe Rucker, Elias Cairo, Katy Millard, Chris Bianco, Aaron Franklin
Details
Blade Material / Heat Treat
STEELPORT knives have solid one-piece traditional drop forged construction from blade tip to end cap with an integral bolster for a well-balanced and long-lasting knife. Through STEELPORT’s proprietary differential heat treatment, American 52100 Carbon Steel achieves an unmatched 65HRC hardness at the blade for exceptional long-lasting sharpness, while maintaining a softer 30HRC spine for lifelong durability. The bolster and spine are hand-polished smooth for a supremely comfortable pinch grip hold.
Blade Shape
The overall shape of STEELPORT blades are defined by considering best functionality and comfort. Our 8” Chef Knife is designed with a “Sheepsfoot” tip so the user can still safely use their hand as a guide while using the tip of the knife. A “finger groove” is added to our chef knives at the heel of the blade to allow for comfort and control while holding the knife in the preferred pinch-hold. All the surfaces are processed to ensure a comfortable soft touch to help with long-term comfort. This includes rounding the spine of the knife.
Handle
Our 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. Learn more about our handles on our blog.
Sheath
Keep your edge protected with a custom fitted STEELPORT 8″ Knife Oregon Maple Sheath, featuring an internal recessed magnet along the spine.
Custom Engraving
Every STEELPORT knife has a unique individuality only found in handcrafted products that use natural materials. You can now choose to further customize your STEELPORT collection by having your wooden sheaths engraved, sharing an even more personal gift. We’ll laser engrave your special message, initials, names, dates, family mottos, etc. on your sheath to mark milestone occasions, like birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, graduations, family reunions, work promotions, and more.
