Knifemaker and Cook
"I became obsessed with the idea of making knives that were not only artful, but the highest performing knives we could possibly make. Back then, as a line cook you had a choice between the cheap, white-handled commercial knife or the black-handled German knife—that was it. I knew from my experience as a cook what kind of qualities people were looking for in a knife, but also felt strongly that a knife should be beautiful, a pleasure to have and use. I think one of the secrets to cooking is to have tools that turn the process into a pleasure, otherwise it can feel like drudgery." Corey Milligan, Founder.
G-FUSION
TRANSFORM CHORES INTO A JOY
The vibrant colors of the G-Fusion line remind us that making nourishing, delicious food for those we love is an expression of who we are. We make tools to be an extension of the hand of the culinary artist.
G10: BEAUTIFUL AND BOMBPROOF
Don’t be fooled by the pretty colors, these handles are bombproof. Originally developed for the motherboard of a computer, this fiberglass laminate is extremely tough, feels good in the hand, and thrives in the hot and humid environment of a professional kitchen.
THE BEST STEEL FOR CHEF KNIVES
S35VN is the best steel available for kitchen use. Sharpness, edge-holding, stain-resistance, toughness: the powder metal process lets us pack in more carbon and special alloys with none of the tradeoffs of other high-carbon blades.
PROFESSIONALLY TESTED AND APPROVED
From top test kitchens like Bon Appetit and Food & Wine to Michelin star restaurants and your local favorite bistro, New West KnifeWorks is professionally tested and approved. “My Best Friend in the Kitchen.” Hunter Lewis, Editor in Chief, Food & Wine Magazine.
IRONWOOD
NATURE AND NURTURE: THE BEST OF BOTH
For those who prefer the natural look and feel of a wooden handle, we tested all the top candidates: Desert Ironwood rose to the top. One of the hardest woods on Earth, it makes a perfect companion in the kitchen for the cutting edge blade.
SKILLED AMERICAN MAKERS
A knife is an extension of the hand, which is why all of our knife handles are hand-finished in the USA. We don’t have an assembly line, each knife is taken through the entire knife-making process by one expert maker to ensure the quality of every blade.
SOLVING THE RIDDLE OF STEEL: POWDER METAL
Traditional steel selection always involved trade-offs: too sharp and it becomes brittle, too much stain-resistance makes it cut like a butter knife, too tough and you can’t sharpen it yourself. S35VN steel gives our blades all the good qualities with none of the bad.
LIFETIME GUARANTEED
The craftsmanship of our knives is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee. We also offer free sharpening and service for all of our knives by mail or through our retail shops.
