{"product_id":"steelport-6-inch-carbon-steel-chef-knife","title":"STEELPORT 6 Inch Carbon Steel Chef Knife","description":"\u003cp\u003eA shorter chef knife for a small board or a smaller hand: halving shallots, slicing a chicken breast, mincing garlic. The tip has a pronounced curve, so it rocks easily. 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. It's ground on both sides. 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 6 in long and 2 in tall, 11.5 in overall, 6.4 oz (180 g).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWant more reach?
