Steelport Knife Co.

We came here for the sourdough but stayed for the knives! It was a lovely event to learn about their new scraper (I never wanted one of those til now) but first - a set of their beautifully made perfectly balanced knives. Great experience, come check it out when you can.

I’ve been meaning to stop by Steelport for a while, and today’s sunshine finally got me there. I was warmly greeted by the owner and given a full tour of the facility — it’s incredible to see the craftsmanship happening right here in Portland. I left with a bread knife, bench scraper, and an 8-inch chef’s knife. As soon as I got home, I tested the bread knife on a fresh sourdough loaf — like a knife through butter. I’m proud to buy local and thrilled to know I can stroll over anytime for lifetime sharpening. This is a truly top-notch, local operation making heirloom-quality knives. I look forward to passing down to future generations.

Fascinating learning how Chefs decide what to add or not add. Learned so much about how subtle process can have huge impact on a dish. I love my Steelport knives but am an amateur. So fun to see how professionals use and hold them. 10/10 event - try a Steelport knife if you haven't - beautiful, comfortable and full of character. Loved listening to the description of Indonesian food memory at Ooma's Hideaway. 💕

Wow. What incredible quality from and awesome company. I was there with my young son today, and the founder himself showed us around. He was so kind, knowledgeable, and not pushy at all. We really enjoyed our visit. Of course we bought a knife, which will not be our last. They are basically incredible quality works of art. If you've been driving by and wanting to stop in, just do it!

As you walk in you won’t be ignored. It’s almost like they have been waiting for you to come and get your knife. They were very welcoming and informative while not trying to sell you “more stuff.” Of course they have all the extra stuff as well but there’s not a pushy sales vibe at all. Want to hop in and get a knife real quick? You can do that. Want to take a complete tour and see every step of the process? You’re welcome to do that as well. Looking forward to using “the best bread knife in the world.”

This event was really cool! Some of my favorite local vendors and everyone was so kind! I even got my 8” chef’s knife sharpened while I was there!

These guys make the best knives in the world in my humble opinion. I bought four or five overtime and they stay sharp and cut like nothing else. I highly recommend these!

Great knives - great people. Attended a demo event with a local chef and had an enjoyable day.

Came here for the Sourdough bread pop up event that they had. It was really good. Clever way to bring attention to the beautiful custom knives they make and how they make them by having delicious bread at the event. Of course being that they had a bread pop up, not only did I get to buy some delicious bread, I got to look and handle one of the best bread knives made in Portland. The knife maker......knife maker? Is that what you call a person who makes the knives? Anyway, he was very thorough at explaining the process and how the magic was made to create one of these custom knife. Part of the process is they dip the knife in coffee as part of the QA process. It was fascinating and I was sold on the bread knife after sampling about two baguettes worth of bread from 5-6 bread vendors. I think I will be looking at getting a bread knife for my partner who loves to bake bread for his birthday. These were good solid quality knives. Speaking of solid, they also had a good solid group of Portland bakers at this event. Café Olli, Josh Fairbanks bread, Flour Market, Little T Bakery to name a few. Also, Ken's Artisan had a small pizza oven going slinging out some pies. Although, I didn't leave buying or ordering any custom knives (just yet), I will be back to get one ordered for this birthday gift and when I am not stuffing my face with bread samples and pizza and leaving with 3 loaves of bread that I bought from the event!

This is the most handcrafted knife store I have ever been to. It was extremely fascinating to see the entire process. Truly the metals are shown, the way the metal is shaped and sharpened. The way the handles are made and how the entire structure is put together. Staff are extremely passionate about the product. I think they come with a lifetime warranty and several people in my party were bringing knives to be sharpened by them. Here is where they lost me. Unless you are a gourmet Guru I am not sure you need a chefs knife that is $500. That being said if you are -- and you DO need it then go here. It is local and service oriented.

When it comes to choosing the right knife, home cooks and professional chefs alike want durability reliability ,and performance they can count on day after day without fail - all qualities which are embodied perfectly within every single one if Steelport's blades thanks largely doe tot eh company's unwaveringly lofty standards when sourcing raw components while still being environmentally conscious.

My boyfriend got me a knife for my birthday after hearing me complain about my dull farberware knives I've had since college. I love to cook but loathe chopping vegetables or really cutting into anything with those relics. I was so excited to receive this knife and I almost cried when cutting my first onion with it (not because of the obvious onion doing oniony things, but because it was SO easy!). It glides like butter and I feel like my experience with cooking has now elevated beyond what I thought it could ever be. A very sleek design and it's comfortable to hold. I'm so very glad to have this tool in my arsenal. I got a nice blade cover and it's all around just a beautiful product

Anna and her husband Ron were absolutely delightful to speak with at the Portland Bazaar where they had a booth. Their knives are top notch and as made creating meals for my loved ones during the holidays all the more enjoyable. They're currently having a few holiday specials on their website. I got the the 3 piece essential set which included a paring knife, chef's knife, and your choice of a slicing knife of bread knife. The natural wood handle feels so comfortable in any size hand (I'm a smaller human standing at 4'10) so I've been very particular about investing in a knife set. I've previously had a few Shun knives and I would say these are higher quality. They feel amazing to cut with. And you can also tell that this small local business really cares about their product as they share with you. If you're looking for a unique gift to yourself, I highly recommend you coming by to take a look. Each knife is unique in it's coloring so I really appreciated being able to handpick my set. Excited to learn that one of the other elites on here mentioned that there are events for knife sharpening! Stoked to continue to build upon my knowledge on this oh so special set. (My first adult purchase since graduating Medical School).

I bought their 8" chef's knife for my husband as a gift and we both love it. It's so fun to work with and it handles beautifully! I got two more for my brothers and they love it as well. Highly recommend these beautiful and high quality knives!
