The Ultra-Giftable Knife. We find ourselves reaching for the petty knife as much as, if not more often than, the beloved chef’s knife. The blade is agile enough to trim delicate veggies and sturdy enough to bone out a chicken. It strikes the perfect balance between power and grace.

Glides through rib-eye steaks as if they are butter. The serrated edge also stays sharper for far longer than a straight blade would. The striking handles do their part to imbue the serving of steak with a sense of ceremony.

Santoku is ultra-sharp, well-balanced, and agile. This and many other New West models are staff favorites…a great gift for your favorite chef. It’s well worth the cost for serious cooks leveling up their knife repertoire.

So this is like a really, really well done knife. It has great balance, has even weight on both sides. I have a lot of knives at home..this one is my go to everyday..chopping a little salad, a little garlic. It's called a utility knife because it has too many uses!

So this, right here is my favorite knife. It's a petty knife from New West Knifeworks. I used to be the kind of person who did everything with a chef's knife, but now I grab this a lot for delicate knife work. The long handle is great for balance. This is the one I go to most often, and one that I travel with.

6" Petty
Jack-of-All-Trades. Everyone needs this knife. It is the go to second knife for folks who primarily use a large chef knife. Paring, boning, filleting…any task that a chef knife is too big for. For those who aren’t comfortable using larger knives, this is your do it all chef and paring knife.

Elegant utility: power meets grace.
The unique qualities of particle metallurgy steel amplify the performance of this blade design. The remarkable toughness and strength of CPM S35VN steel allows the blade to be ground incredibly thin and perform without bending, breaking or chipping. The super thin blade cuts through food like a scalpel. “Some eight years ago, when I had just started out as an assistant at a fancy food magazine, I snuck one of their 6” Petty Utility Knives out of a gift package meant for my boss (sorry not sorry!) and it has been an extension of my hand ever since. Prior to that point, I was a stubborn, all-you-need-is-a-chefs-knife kind of cook, but that super-sharp, nimble, not-too-short-not-too-long blade quickly became my perennial kitchen sidekick. Agile enough for delicate tasks like trimming vegetables and sharp enough to fillet fish, it keeps an edge long after my other knives have been sent out for sharpening. All that and made in the US of A? What’s not to like?! I’ve been worshiping at the altar of New West for years, and their blades have been my ace in the hole when I’m seeking out the perfect gift for friends and family who love the kitchen as much as I do.”Amiel Stanek, contributing editor, Bon Appetit.
