STEELPORT Boning Knife 6-Inch Carbon Steel - N61000

STEELPORT N61000 Boning Knife 6-Inch Carbon Steel

The STEELPORT 6" Boning Knife is an essential tool for safely and efficiently breaking down and cleaning up meat. With its unique design and functional details, the STEELPORT Boning Knife allows for better control, agility, and protection.

With the STEELPORT Boning Knife, professional chefs and butchers can feel confident that they have an exceptionally sharp and safe tool they can depend upon to break down large cuts and 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.

It is handcrafted in our factory in Portland using all of the same US-sourced materials and proprietary methods as the rest of our award-winning lineup of cutlery. As such, it is the only Boning Knife on the market with the prized custom features we apply to all STEELPORT knives, including a differential heat treatment.

The Boning Knife is a natural extension of the STEELPORT core line of cutlery, and complements the STEELPORT Chef Knife, Paring Knife, Serrated Knife, and Slicing Knife.

Key Features

• This heirloom blade is slightly wider than an average boning knife, allowing for more sharpenings during its expected longer blade life, while still being narrow enough to be nimble and perform fine detailed work.
• The safety guard at the bolster is extra wide for additional protection and control, preventing injury especially if hands are wet or greasy from breaking down large cuts.
• The handle is the same shape and size as the award-winning STEELPORT Chef Knife’s contoured handle, providing more comfort, safety, and stability.

Features

• Blade Shape
  The curved blade and 1” heel of the STEELPORT 10" Slicer allows for more knuckle clearance on the board and is great for the portioning and trimming cuts classically used with a cimeter.
  This longer 10" length prevents a sawing motion to achieve cleaner cuts. The tip of the STEELPORT slicer is sharpened, making it effective when trimming meat and fish.
• 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.
• Handle
  STEELPORT’s signature contoured handle makes cutting an enjoyable experience and not a chore. 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.

• Care & Use
  Carbon Steel is for those who take pride in keeping their tools at peak performance through basic maintenance. Carbon Steel knives like STEELPORT are not stain or rust resistant. Day to day, it is as simple as remembering to hand wash and dry after each use.
