The small knife for work in your hand: peeling an apple, hulling strawberries, deveining shrimp. At 4 inches, it's also long enough for a shallot on the board. Made in Portland, Oregon, with a blade forged from one piece of carbon steel.
Blade, bolster and tang are a single piece of American-forged 52100 carbon steel, from the tip to the end cap. The edge is hardened to 65 HRC, which is what keeps it sharp through a long prep session. The spine is left softer, at 30 HRC.
The dark color comes from coffee. Each polished blade gets a dip in it, hot, before it ships. That starts the patina evenly, and the maker says it adds some protection.
The handle is Oregon Big Leaf Maple burl, stabilized with resin and shaped by hand. Burl grain is different on every handle.
New to carbon steel? It can rust if it's left wet, so wash it by hand and dry it right away. Hone it regularly.
The color will keep changing as you cook. That's patina, not rust, and it's normal.
Made in Portland, Oregon, with STEELPORT's lifetime warranty and free sharpening for life.
Size: blade 4 in long and 1 in tall, 8.5 in overall, 4 oz (110 g).
For the board work, the 8 inch chef knife is the same steel and the same handle.
