Gift Guide: For The Hard To Please

We all have a few folks on our gift list who we'll call...admirably discerning. Whether its color, texture, fit, or form, they've got elevated taste and a strong opinion. We've gathered a list of fail-safe gift ideas that up the ante on everyday design and are sure to make you look "in the know". In fact, the New York Times picked our Petty knife as the #1 gift for the "hard to please", calling the knife "as beautiful as it is useful".

The Minimalist: Teton Samurai Set

The "Teton Samurai" starter set features two very popular and effective Japanese inspired blade shapes. This is a great choice for those looking to cover all the basics -- a full-size knife for heavy cutting board duties and something agile and light for precision work.

The Carnivore: Steak Knife Set

Eating with loved ones is more sacred than ever. These beauties add ceremony to the meal as everyone chooses their colors from the set. More importantly, the blade slides through a strip like warm butter.

The Connoisseur: Custom Knife Blocks

Using locally harvested stone, New West's makers' craft mixed media blocks that transform the kitchen counter into an art gallery.

The Go-to-Gift: The Petty Knife

This is the knife for everyone on your list, no matter what their experience level. It’s the perfect level-up for someone who is just getting into cooking, and a welcome addition to the pro-chef’s knife roll.

The Holiday Master: The Carving Set

William Morris said: "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." This carving fork satisfies both requirements and is sure to add a sense of ceremony to your special occasions. It's the perfect way to honor the hours of effort and attention that go into a beautiful meal - perfectly sliced meats and an elegant serving experience.

The Wild One: Elk Antler Santoku

Bring the outdoors in with this stunning Elk Antler Chef Knife. Naturally shed antlers form the handle of this gorgeous, ultra sharp piece.

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.

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 ME

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.
