Introducing The 2025

Uru Knife Block Sets

At New West KnifeWorks, our mission has always been singular: to craft the finest knives in the world. This year, we unveil the pinnacle of that pursuit — the 2025 Uru Knife Block Set. These one-of-a-kind collections are the product of nearly a decade of focused design and innovation, blending elite metallurgy with American artistry to create a chef knife set unlike anything else on earth.

A Legacy in Steel, Stone, and Wood

The Uru set isn’t merely functional. It’s heirloom-quality cutlery built to elevate not just your cooking, but your entire kitchen. With this limited annual release, we bring together 28 years of craftsmanship, selecting the most extraordinary materials and applying the highest level of precision to every element — from blade to block.

Damastel: The Art of the Blade, Perfected

At the core of every Uru knife is Damastel®—a rare Swedish particle metallurgy steel that delivers the striking beauty of Damascus with unmatched modern performance. Its layered pattern is formed through a precision powder metallurgy process, offering exceptional edge retention, high toughness, and stainless durability—without the upkeep of carbon steel. Visually stunning and built to endure, it’s the perfect fusion of art and engineering.

Handles That Tell a Story

Each handle is crafted from Desert Ironwood, hand-selected for its deep grain, rich color, and natural hardness. Our artisans choose only the best cuts from our private stock, ensuring every knife is as visually compelling as it is comfortable to hold.

Accenting the handles are mokume-gane bolsters — layered copper, nickel, and silver patterned into a swirling flow of precious metals. This Damascus-style metalwork elevates each knife into a piece of fine art, no two alike.

The Rock Block: Sculpture Meets Storage

The Uru sets are presented in our most extraordinary Rock Blocks, made by in-house artist, Sarah Gage. Each block is handcrafted from rare hardwoods and natural stone collected throughout the year — curated like gemstones.This year’s release features:

  • Hand-selected hardwoods with dynamic character
  • Natural stone inlays from the American West
  • Brass detailing layered into crystal-clear acrylic
