A cutting board designed to match the craftsmanship of your knife. We’re excited to introduce a new kind of cutting board—one designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s kitchen while honoring the craftsmanship that defines STEELPORT. Our SteelCore™ Board offers two distinct surfaces made from different materials, giving you greater versatility in a single, ultra-thin design. Hidden inside is our patent-pending steel reinforcement, delivering unmatched durability and long-term stability. At STEELPORT, we’re committed to creating timeless, purposeful kitchen essentials. For any new product, we hold ourselves to three core pillars: iconic design, local craftsmanship using U.S.-sourced materials, and thoughtful, functional details. The first two came naturally. The challenge—and opportunity—was delivering truly valuable functionality in a product that hasn’t really changed in over a century. With decades of experience working with steel and wood—and applying that knowledge to crafting heirloom-quality knives through STEELPORT—we approached the cutting board not as an accessory but as a tool worthy of the same care and intention. Over the past two years, we’ve taken a hard look at the best boards available—what they offer, and where they fall short. Our goal was to go beyond what’s already out there: to create a board that addresses real kitchen frustrations, expands versatility, and lives up to the standards of a professional-grade knife. We asked:
Why hasn’t the cutting board evolved alongside the knife?
Plastic boards break down quickly—and too often end up in your food. Trend-driven options like bamboo or metals like titanium are harsh on knife edges. Composite materials offer a middle ground, but often lack the self-healing properties and visual warmth that make a board welcome in the home kitchen. End-grain wood remains the gold standard, prized for its durability and aesthetics—but even the best versions are bulky, hard to maneuver, and prone to warping or splitting over time. Worse, most are designed as one-size-fits-all solutions in kitchens that demand more versatility. There are plenty of knife brands that sell cutting boards, and cutting board brands that sell knives, but the STEELPORT team is never interested in simply adding our logo to an existing mass-produced product. Our team of artisans always strives to create something fundamentally better—an evolution in both design and function.
A Cutting Board, Reimagined
The STEELPORT SteelCore™ Cutting Board is the first of its kind: a dual-surface, steel-reinforced, ultra-thin end-grain board handcrafted for cooks who expect more from their tools. Each detail—its proportions, structure, and materials—was chosen to complement and elevate your everyday cooking experience. It’s thin enough to store easily, solid enough to feel anchored, and made to look and perform beautifully for years to come.
