Description: We are excited to announce a Mother's Day/Father's Day special 2-piece Starter Set from Steelport Knife Co! For a limited time only, we will be offering a gift box including an 8" chef knife and a 4" paring knife at a $100 discount. The original price for this set is $650, but you can now purchase it for just $550. This set is a temporary offer available from early May through the end of June to cover both Mother's Day and Father's Day holidays. We believe this set would make an excellent gift for anyone who loves to cook (or a great choice for your own kitchen!), so take advantage of this offer while it lasts!
This set includes:

  • STEELPORT 8” Chef Knife, flagship knife, named “The Best Made-in-USA Kitchen Knife” by Gear Patrol. A chef knife is the most important tool in your knife kit, used for 90% + of kitchen tasks such as chopping and slicing, and STEELPORT’s chef knife is unmatched.

  • STEELPORT 4” Paring Knife, for in-hand or small finer work on the cutting board. Designed for a high level of maneuverability for smaller more delicate tasks like trimming, peeling, and coring.

The blades are drop forged from a single billet of 52100 carbon steel. A cryogenic differential heat treatment brings the resilient steel to 65 Hrc. 52100 is considered by many knifemakers and knife users to be among the best steels (if not the best!) used in modern knifemaking. It combines exceptional edge holding with durability and ease of sharpening. A temper line travels across the blade, showing the transition between the supportive spine and the ultra-hard (Hrc 65!) cutting edge. The blades feature a smooth, dark patina, offering limited rust resistance. Like other carbon steel knives, we recommend camellia oil to avoid rust and oxidation. The blades culminate in an integral bolster for superior strength and balance.
The faceted handles are Oregon bigleaf maple burl (Acer macrophyllum). They are set between the integral bolster and integral end cap. By using stabilized wood, STEELPORT ensures their knives will hold up well to the demands of either a home or commercial kitchen. The integral bolsters provide a smooth transition to the rounded spine for an effortless pinch grip. The handles are comfortable in a wide range of grips.
These knives are slightly heavier than a typical Japanese knife, though extremely nimble. The convex ground blades have a smooth cutting feel with good food release.
Made in the USA from US-sourced materials. Steelport Knife Co is reintroducing heirloom American forged carbon steel cutlery. They deliver trusted performance, exceptional design, and are handcrafted individually through rigorous attention to detail. Each knife is built and sharpened by hand in Portland, OR.
