Knives by SteelPortJoin us for a FREE Meet-the-Maker and Chef's Knife Making Demo with SteelPort Knife Co!

Join us at the BladeGallery showroom on Saturday, May 4th from Noon - 2pm for a knifemaking and sharpening demonstration from a special guest, STEELPORT Knife Co.’s blademsith/co-tounder Eytan Zias.

We continue to be impressed by the award winning chef's knives made by Portland-based SteelPort Knife Co. STEELPORT is American forged heirloom cutlery handcrafted in Portland, Oregon by a small team of talented artisans. STEELPORT knives feature iconic design, functional custom details, and all USA-sourced materials. Each knife is drop forged 52100 carbon steel, full tang with a proprietary differential heat treatment achieving an unmatched 65HRC on the blade edge. The gorgeous contoured and stabilized Oregon Big Leaf Maple Burl used for the handle gives each knife a unique custom look.

Bladsmith Eytan will lead an actual knife finishing and sharpening demonstration - a can’t-miss event for anyone with an interest in how premium handcrafted kitchen knives are made.

Want to experience culinary precision like never before? Dive into the world of STEELPORT today!

Eytan Zias' demo is targeting to knife enthusiasts and will be about 2 hours long. After an overview of the STEELPORT knifemaking process - from a single carbon steel rod through the 134 steps to reach the final product – Eytan will demonstrate the intricate finishing process on an actual unfinished STEELPORT blade, including::

  • Handle attachment
  • Creating a coffee patina

  • Waterstone sharpening
