{"product_id":"steelport-4-inch-carbon-steel-paring-knife","title":"STEELPORT 4 Inch Carbon Steel Paring Knife","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlade, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handle is Oregon Big Leaf Maple burl, stabilized with resin and shaped by hand. Burl grain is different on every handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew to carbon steel? It can rust if it's left wet, so wash it by hand and dry it right away. Hone it regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe color will keep changing as you cook. That's patina, not rust, and it's normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade in Portland, Oregon, with STEELPORT's lifetime warranty and free sharpening for life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSize: blade 4 in long and 1 in tall, 8.5 in overall, 4 oz (110 g).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the board work, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/steelport-8-inch-carbon-steel-chef-knife\"\u003e8 inch chef knife\u003c\/a\u003e is the same steel and the same handle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"STEELPORT Knife Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51071561531478,"sku":"P4-1000","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/7457\/1094\/files\/slider-steelport-4-paring-knife.jpg?v=1794402604","url":"https:\/\/clearlymadegoods.com\/products\/steelport-4-inch-carbon-steel-paring-knife","provider":"Clearly Made","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
