STEELPORT Knife Co. Expands SteelCore™ 2-in-1 Cutting Board Line: Launches with Crate & Barrel and Adds 13” x 9” Size
The STEELPORT SteelCore Cutting Board collection brings together advanced engineering, refined materials, and everyday versatility in a premium, American-made cutting board.
SteelCore Cutting Board 2-in-1 design reimagines traditional premium wood cutting board construction by embedding a patent-pending steel core within the center of the board. The result is two different cutting-surface materials in one ultra-thin 0.75” profile.
STEELPORT celebrated Hemp-Based Board Conditioner is also now available at Crate & Barrel. Handcrafted in Portland, it's an all-natural, petroleum-free blend of hemp seed oil and beeswax designed to nourish, seal, and protect premium wood surfaces.
American handcrafted, patent-pending steel-reinforced cutting boards now available in a new versatile size and through national premium retailer’s website
The STEELPORT SteelCore Cutting Board collection brings together advanced engineering, refined materials, and everyday versatility in a premium, American-made cutting board. STEELPORT first launched the SteelCore 2-in-1 cutting board design in 2025 to immediate sellout. It reimagines traditional premium wood cutting board construction by embedding a patent-pending steel core within the center of the board. The result is two different cutting-surface materials in one ultra-thin 0.75” profile. This construct delivers unmatched stability and resistance to warping or splitting, while maintaining heirloom quality and performance.
“The SteelCore Cutting Board design is about solving two fundamental shortcomings in traditional wood boards without compromising craftsmanship,” said Ron Khormaei, Founder and CEO of STEELPORT Knife Co. “By integrating a steel matrix inside the core, we tackled the thickness and odor absorption issues seen in the best traditional boards. Expanding the line with a 13” x 9” size, and partnering with Crate & Barrel to bring SteelCore to a broader national audience is a meaningful step in continuing to elevate American-made kitchen tools on a larger stage.”
The new 13” x 9” SteelCore™ Cutting Board ($200) bridges the gap between STEELPORT’s compact 9” x 6” and its 18” x 12” size, offering a highly versatile option for everyday prep, small kitchens and entertaining.
The full SteelCore Cutting Board collection joins Crate & Barrel’s curated assortment of premium kitchen products recognized for quality, design, and performance.
“We are proud to work with vendors that are moving the needle to make kitchens healthier," said Alicia Waters, Brand President, Crate & Barrel and Crate & Kids. "STEELPORT's high-performance products align with our promise to bring our customers thoughtfully designed pieces that last."
STEELPORT SteelCore Cutting Boards feature:
>> Two-Sided Functionality: One side crafted from premium wood - FSC-certified American walnut end-grain, naturally self-healing and gentle on knife edges. The reverse side is a durable, non-porous recycled paper composite surface with an integrated juice groove.
>> Patent-Pending SteelCore™ Technology: Embedded steel beams provide structural reinforcement for long-term stability and durability.
>> Ultra-Thin Design: At just 0.75” thick, SteelCore boards are among the thinnest end-grain cutting boards available, designed for easy lifting, flipping, cleaning, storage, and serving.
>> Made in Portland, Oregon: Handcrafted locally using all U.S.-sourced materials.
Crate & Barrel customers will also have access to the STEELPORT celebrated Hemp-Based Board Conditioner, an all-natural, petroleum-free blend of hemp seed oil and beeswax designed to nourish, seal, and protect premium wood surfaces. Developed to meet the same uncompromising standards as the SteelCore boards, the conditioner penetrates deeply for lasting protection, and enhances the natural beauty and longevity of heirloom-quality materials.
SteelCore cutting boards and the STEELPORT Board Conditioner are available at STEELPORTknife.com, at the STEELPORT Knife Co. factory store in Portland, Oregon, and now online at Crate & Barrel.
