What it is?
The STEELPORT 10” Slicer Knife combines the best attributes of a slicer and cimeter. The curved blade ensures full contact on the cutting board and keeps your knuckles from hitting the board for a comfortable feel. A long slicing knife is ideal for trimming and portioning large cuts of meat and fish. Any home cook or professional chef who regularly prepares larger proteins will get plenty of use out of this knife. The STEELPORT 10” Slicer is an impressive showpiece for those who value a professional cut and presentation, whether for a special occasion like carving a holiday roast, trimming and portioning meat and fish, or precision work such as making sushi/sashimi.
Key Benefits
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.
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.

Material
STEELPORT knives are handcrafted through a solid one-piece traditional drop forged construction, extending from blade tip to end cap, incorporating an integral bolster. This design ensures a well-balanced knife. STEELPORT’s proprietary differential heat treatment applied to American 52100 Carbon Steel achieves a robust dual hardness profile: a blade with a remarkable 65HRC for sustained sharpness with easy sharpenability, and a softer 30HRC spine for durability. This meticulous process, along with a hand-polished bolster and spine, combines strength with ergonomic comfort.
