10" Bread Knife

No kitchen is complete without a bread knife. The STEELPORT Bread Knife is designed to perform equally well cutting bread with hard crusts and softer loafs. It can also be used as a serrated slicer for cutting through BBQ meats, and other hard crust foods.

The STEELPORT Bread Knife features a unique ‘Wavy’ serration (rather than a pointed serration) resulting in a finer, sharper edge which requires less of sawing motion and can slice, rather than saw, through food with ease and is less destructive to both the food and cutting board. The 10" length is the perfect size to get through any loaf.

STEELPORT is proud to offer one of the only premium bread knives on the market.

Specifications
• Blade Length: Blade Length: 10", Total Length: 15", Height: 1", Weight: 8.5oz / 240g
• Made in Portland, Oregon

Blade Material / Heat Treat
• STEELPORT knives have solid one-piece traditional drop forged construction from blade tip to end cap with an integral bolster for a well-balanced and long-lasting knife. Through STEELPORT’s proprietary differential heat treatment, American 52100 Carbon Steel achieves an unmatched 65HRC hardness at the blade for exceptional long-lasting sharpness, while maintaining a softer 30HRC spine for lifelong durability. 

• The bolster and spine are hand-polished smooth for comfort.

Blade Shape
• The STEELPORT bread knife boasts a unique “sine wave” serration pattern, engineered for optimal cutting performance. The top of each serration is sharp and curved to pierce the crust without crushing it, while the wider bottom provides a smooth cut through the soft interior. The 7mm peak-to-peak distance of the serrations ensures a consistent, balanced cut.

• This specialized serration pattern, combined with the knife’s high 65HRC hardness steel, ensures an exceptionally sharp edge that lasts longer than other bread knives on the market.

Handle
• All STEELPORT handles 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.

Care & Use
• Carbon Steel is for those who take pride in keeping their tools at peak performance through basic maintenance. Carbon Steel knives like STEELPORT are not stain or rust resistant. Day to day, it is as simple as remembering to hand wash and dry after each use.

• Hand Wash & Dry: The best way to care for your STEELPORT Carbon Steel Knife is to always rinse and dry it completely after each use. Avoid using aggressive chemicals, leaving it unwashed, or leaving it in water, as these can lead to rust and other damage.

• Occasional Oiling: To keep your knife in top condition, oil it occasionally, especially if it will be stored for an extended period of time. We recommend using Camellia oil or food-grade mineral oil. Cooking oils can also be an option but they can break down and become rancid.

• Wood Handle Care: Your STEELPORT knife features a resin-stabilized wood handle designed to meet the demands of a busy kitchen, but it still requires some minimal care to keep it looking its best. Treat your wood handle like a wooden cutting board, i.e. avoid letting it soak in water, and rub it down with the handle wax or another food-safe oil or wax mix - once or twice a month.
