The 'STEELPORT SteelCore™ Cutting Board' is the latest culinary innovation from Portland-based STEELPORT Knife Co., bringing a revolutionary dual-surface design to the traditional wooden cutting board. Fusing an ultra-thin FSC-certified American walnut end-grain side with a recycled paper composite surface, the SteelCore™ board is engineered for versatility and hygiene. At just 0.75 inches thick, it is the slimmest end-grain board on the market. Yet, it delivers unmatched durability thanks to a patent-pending internal steel beam that enhances stability and resists warping.
Designed for both home cooks and professionals, one side offers a knife-friendly, self-healing surface perfect for daily prep and presentation, while the composite side -- with an integrated juice groove -- is ideal for handling meat and pungent ingredients. Additional features include beveled edges for easy flipping and sleek aesthetics. The SteelCore™ is handcrafted in the U.S. using only locally sourced materials.
