What it is?
The STEELPORT 6” Chef Knife has the same performance aspects of the 8” Chef Knife, with a shorter blade of 6.5″ and more curve at the tip, allowing for nimble handling and cutting. The handle is the same full size as the 8”, contoured to accommodate any hand, and offering a 2″ height at the blade heel for finger clearance. Keep your edge protected with a custom fitted STEELPORT 6″ Knife Oregon Maple Sheath, featuring an internal recessed magnet along the spine.
Key Benefits
- Blade Shape: The sheepsfoot tip allows the blade to have a flatter profile which means it can make more contact with the board. It is intentionally taller and larger than an average paring knife, allowing for precision without being too delicate, and the contoured handle provides a comfortable close grip for finer control and finesse. The longer-than-average 4” length allows for use on a cutting board and finer kitchen tasks as well as use holding in-hand for peeling and coring.
- Handle: The more generous overall size, contoured handle, and rounded spine of the STEELPORT 4” Paring Knife allows for more comfort and versatility than a typical paring knife. 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 4″ Paring Knife Sheath, made of caramelized Oregon Maple, and featuring an internal recessed magnet along the spine – no pin needed.
