A Knife Built with a Top Chef

A Chef’s Idea, Brought to Life

When Iron Chef Stephanie Izard set out to design her ideal kitchen knife, she came to the mountains of Wyoming to partner with New West KnifeWorks. The result? A razor-sharp, beautifully balanced 8-inch blade that’s become a favorite for both home cooks and professionals.

From its precise, pointed tip to the effortless rock of its curved edge, the Steph Knife is designed for total versatility — and to feel incredible in your hand.

“It’s exceptionally balanced and surprisingly comfortable without a bolster. Its shape resembles a santoku knife, so it chops vegetables like a charm, but the uber-keen tip is light and narrow for delicate tasks, making it one of my favorite everyday knives.” — Dillon Evans, writer

So Why This Knife?

Designed for Everyday Excellence
Stephanie’s goal was simple: create a knife that feels as good as it performs. The blade takes inspiration from a santoku-style profile — great for slicing vegetables — but adds a narrower, more precise tip for delicate work. It's nimble, powerful, and built to take on anything your cutting board throws at it.

Balanced Without a Bolster
The Steph Knife features a seamless transition from handle to blade with no traditional bolster. That means it sits more comfortably in your grip and keeps the weight perfectly balanced — whether you’re mincing garlic or breaking down protein.

Made in the Teton Mountains
Like all New West knives, the Steph Knife is crafted in our Victor, Idaho workshop using elite powder metal steel and aerospace-grade handle materials. It’s built to last — and to be used.
