What it is?
No kitchen is complete without a bread knife. The STEELPORT Bread Knife is designed to perform equally well cutting bread with hard crusts and softer loafs. It can also be used as a serrated slicer for cutting through BBQ meats, and other hard crust foods. The STEELPORT Bread Knife features a unique ‘Wavy’ serration (rather than a pointed serration) resulting in a finer, sharper edge which requires less of sawing motion and can slice, rather than saw, through food with ease and is less destructive to both the food and cutting board . The 10” length is the perfect size to get through any loaf. STEELPORT is proud to offer one of the only premium bread knives on the market.
Key Benefits
- Blade Shape: The overall shape of STEELPORT blades are defined by considering best functionality and comfort. Our 8” Chef Knife is designed with a “Sheepsfoot” tip so the user can still safely use their hand as a guide while using the tip of the knife. A “finger groove” is added to our chef knives at the heel of the blade to allow for comfort and control while holding the knife in the preferred pinch-hold. All the surfaces are processed to ensure a comfortable soft touch to help with long-term comfort. This includes rounding the spine of the knife.
- Handle: Our handles are contoured to accommodate any hand, offering a unique 2″ height at the blade heel for finger clearance. 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.
- Sheath: Keep your edge protected with a custom fitted STEELPORT 10″ Knife Oregon Maple Sheath, featuring an internal recessed magnet along the spine.
