Steelport Knife Co., launched in March 2021 in Portland, Ore., is expanding its lineup of American-forged carbon steel cutlery.
The Steelport line includes the flagship 8″ Chef knife and just-released 6″ Chef Knife, and the company plans to release several additional new knives this year.
The company describes five key differentiating features of its knives:
- Drop-forged, one-piece construction from blade tip to end cap is used for a well-balanced and long-lasting knife.
- 65 HRC Carbon Steel is used at different heat treatments to create a hard blade and softer spine for sharpness and durability.
- The contoured bolster and polished edges were designed for a smooth transition from bolster to handle for comfort that encourages proper hold.
- The locally sourced Oregan Big Leaf Maple Burl Handle is stabilized with resin so that it won’t shrink or swell.
- The knife is an entirely USA-made cutlery option handcrafted in Portland, Oregon.
The Steelport 8″ Chef Knife and 6″ Chef Knife are currently available on the company’s websit, retailing for $400 and $350, respectively.
