The STEELPORT Signature Knife + Board Set

The STEELPORT set delivers our three most essential knives—the 8” Chef Knife, 4” Paring Knife, and 10” Bread Knife—plus STEELPORT’s two patent-pending game-changing SteelCore™ Cutting Boards–Standard 18”x12” and Mini 9”x6” size. This American handcrafted heirloom set offers complete kitchen versatility, ideal for passionate cooks who want to use the best possible tools. 

Who We Are

STEELPORT Knife Co. is a small team of artisans dedicated to producing the most trusted kitchen knives available. Based in Portland, Oregon, we handcraft and hand-sharpen each knife, combining premium materials, traditional forging techniques, and heirloom American craftsmanship.

Our Mission

To reintroduce the standard of heirloom American-forged carbon steel cutlery. We deliver trusted performance, exceptional design, and handcrafted individuality to those who refuse to compromise on quality and use their tools to share themselves with the world.

How We Started

Frustrated by the lack of premium, American-made kitchen knives on the market, we set out to prove that world-class heirloom cutlery could be crafted entirely in the USA. We released our flagship 8” Chef Knife in 2021 to instant acclaim from home cooks, chefs, and media alike. Today, we offer a full, essential collection of handcrafted carbon steel cutlery.

The Founders

Eytan Zias, Co-founder & Bladesmith
Eytan Zias’ career began as a busboy, and he rose through the kitchen ranks in New York City, before moving to Scottsdale, Arizona. His love of the art and craft of cooking guided him to start sharpening knives for himself and friends, and then to open up a sharpening and retail shop in 2007. He channeled his passion for knives into learning forging techniques and has pursued the art for the last 10 years. As an expert in the field, he guides chefs to the best knives and has heard all the shortcomings of available knives. STEELPORT has been the culmination of all the best features a chef would want in their ultimate kitchen tool.

Ron Khormaei, Founder & CEO
Dr. Ron Khormaei received his engineering Ph.D. from Oregon State University and has been active in local businesses over the past 30 years. He worked in executive roles with multiple international companies growing global engineering and manufacturing teams. He continues to mentor other entrepreneurs and serves in faculty roles at both Oregon State University and Portland State University. His strong belief in the value and strength of local manufacturing led him to be a co-founder of FINEX Cast Iron cookware in 2012. The success of this premium American-made cookware product highlighted the missing value of an American premium cutlery choice and the opportunity for another Modern Heirloom offering in the kitchens.

Our Promise

We believe in craftsmanship without compromise. Because we use natural materials, every knife possesses a unique individuality—from the grain of the wooden handle to the unique patina the blade develops over time, telling the story of every meal you prepare.

To ensure your tool lasts for generations, we back our quality with two core pillars:

Lifetime Warranty: Full coverage against manufacturing defects under proper use.

SharpForever Program: Free lifetime professional sharpening for every STEELPORT knife you own.

When you invest in a STEELPORT, you aren’t just buying a knife—you are securing an heirloom that will build family traditions in the kitchen for a lifetime.
