Step 1: Starting 52100 Carbon Steel Rod

The initial step in crafting a Steelport carbon steel knife involves using 52100 Carbon Alloy Steel, prized for its balance of sharpenability, edge retention, and toughness. This steel is shaped from a single billet rod, allowing for integral bolster and end cap for a solid one-piece construction knife, setting the foundation for optimal shaping and heat treatment to create superior cutlery blades.
