: Knives by STEELPORT Knife Co are built by hand in Portland, Oregon. Founded by bladesmith Eytan Zias, they are a small team of artisans dedicated to creating some the finest kitchen knives available. Their work combines premium materials, traditional forging techniques, and American heirloom craftsmanship. Firm boning knives are ideal for removing meat from around bones in red meat and poultry. They are also great for portioning meats as well as removing silverskin. The Steelport carbon steel boniing knife is designed for easy control and maneuverability.
The blade is 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 blade features a smooth, dark patina, offering limited rust resistance. Like other carbon steel knives, we recommend camellia oil to avoid rust and oxidation. The blade culminates in an integral bolster for superior strength and balance.
The faceted handle is Oregon bigleaf maple burl (Acer macrophyllum). It is set between the integral bolster and integral end cap. By using stabilized wood, STEELPORT ensures this knife will hold up well to the demands of either a home or commercial kitchen. The integral bolster provides a smooth transition to the rounded spine for an effortless pinch grip. The handle is comfortable in a wide range of grips.
This nimble boning knife is sure to get lots of use in your kitchen.
