Steelport Knife Co. has introduced its sixth knife shape: a 6-inch Boning Knife designed for optimum control, agility and protection while breaking down and trimming cuts of meat.
A boning knife is a thin blade with an agile tip made for deboning and trimming. Steelport said its boning knife is unique for several reasons:
- The safety guard at the bolster is extra wide for additional protection and mobility to prevent injury when hands are wet or greasy from breaking down large meat cuts.
- The handle is the same shape and size as the company’s Steelport Chef Knife’s contoured handle, designed to provide comfort, safety and stability.
- The blade is slightly wider than average, allowing for more sharpenings and a longer blade life, while still being narrow enough for detailed work.
The knife is handcrafted at the Steelport factory in Portland, Oregon with drop-forged one-piece construction, 65 HRC carbon steel, a contoured bolster with hand-polished edges and an Oregan big leaf maple burl handle.
“Steelport knives are meant to provide cooks with the best tools possible, and encourage more cooking and experimentation,” says Steelport Knife Co. bladesmith and co-founder Eytan Zias. “With the Steelport Boning Knife, professional chefs and home butchers alike can feel confident that they have an exceptionally sharp and safe tool they can depend upon to break down both delicate cuts and large quantities of meat. Likewise, home cooks can feel inspired to buy and experiment with different cuts of meat, and have the self-sufficiency to break down high-quality proteins from scratch at home.”
The 6-inch Boning Knife joins Steelport Knife Co.’s lineup of knives including a 4-inch Paring Knife, a 6-inch Chef Knife, an 8-inch Chef Knife, a 10-inch Slicing Knife and a serrated 10-inch Bread Knife. The brand also offers a knife block and special gift sets and accessories.
The Steelport 6-inch Boning Knife is available now with an MSRP of $415.
