7" Teton Edge Santoku
East meets New West — an all purpose chef knife. This Japanese-style blade takes its name from the “three virtues” of slicing, dicing, and mincing.
Description
A revolution in blade design.
The blade features a generous width for easy scooping while the moderate length and ergonomic design make this knife extremely agile on the cutting board.
The Teton Edge Santoku represents an evolution in the history of blade design. The "Edge" replaces the traditional santoku "dimple grind" with an etched homage to the iconic Teton Mountain range of Jackson Hole. Like a traditional dimple grind, the Teton Edge helps the blade slice smoothly through food without sticking, but the Edge does it even better. Heat generated in traditional machine-grinding the dimples can disrupt and distort the precision of the steel's heat treatment. Our solution: a proprietary cold process used to etch the "Edge" which enhances the performance while optimizing the steel. The Teton Edge celebrates the spirit of Jackson Hole, New West Knifeworks's home, both visually and functionally, while redefining the cutting edge of peak performance.
The size and design of the Teton Edge Santoku make it an ideal choice for home chefs. The 7” blade is nimble and comfortable for those who haven’t spent years using large knives in a commercial setting. The balance of “power and grace” make it well suited for any cutting challenge.

Use & Care
- Hand wash with warm soapy water and hand dry for maximum edge retention and stain resistance. For safety and edge protection, store dry knives in their leather sheath, in a wood block, or on a magnet designed to hold knives. For a full tune-up: free lifetime sharpening.
- Do not put in the dishwasher - this will dull the knife.
- For edge retention, cut only on wood or softer plastic cutting boards.
- As needed, apply a light coat of mineral oil to the handle with a soft cloth to enhance vibrance.
New West knives aren't just for looking at, the santoku is ultra-sharp, well-balanced, and impressively maneuverable... A favorite of Food & Wine's editor-in-chief, it is a key knife in any collection: it's all-purpose and meant to cut just about anything. This makes New West's luxury version a great gift for your favorite chef — or a to request from your favorite giver.

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.
Description
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.

It doesn't shred tomatoes the way that your average serrated knife does. It's a keeper, and has earned a permanent place in my knife roll.

9" Superbread
The superhero of bread knives. Most bread knives leave no room for the knuckles which means one of two things: either you are forced to slice near the edge of the counter or you risk bruising your knuckles when you get to the bottom of the loaf. Enter the Super Bread.

Steak Knife
Functional Art. Found in the country’s finest restaurants, The Steak Knife’s unique serration protects the blade from hard ceramic while the razor-sharp straight edge finishes the cut.
Description
Elite knives for prime cuts.
For over 25 years, New West Knifeworks has made steak knives for The Snake River Grill, the gold standard of fine dining in Jackson Hole. Over 25 years of hard use, dish washing and the uncompromising requirement for elite sharpness and elegant presentation have evolved into the finest steak knife money can buy. Today, New West steak knives are used at the finest restaurants everywhere we have stores, including the Montages in Big Sky and Wine country, the Four Seasons and Shooting Star in Jackson Hole, the Auberge Hotels in Aspen and Napa, the iconic Caribou Club in Aspen, the Goose and Gander in St. Helena, and every Park City locals’ favorite, Handle — to name a few. New West steak knives survive several lifetime’s worth of abuse in a few short years in a restaurant setting and keep on slicing. These indestructible steak knives will be a treasure to use for family gatherings generations to come.
The Steak Knives' unique design comes from decades of use and testing. The cutting edge is shortened and moved far from the handle to keep sharp edges away from fingers. The partial serration initiates the cut into delicate soft beef tenderloins while the straight edge effortlessly finishes the slice. Equally important, the serration protects the knife edge from the plate- ceramic is much harder than steel. In fact, ceramic is so hard and abrasive it is used to sharpen knives. This means that non-serrated steak knives dull almost immediately when they cut against ceramic. Our serration, strategically placed, allows only the very tip of the serration to touch the plate, protecting the scallops from the plate and allowing them to stay nice and sharp. The fine tip and elegantly thin blade allow for trimming the most delicious bites around the bone of lamb chop or bone-in ribeye with ease.
If you want your steak knives to truly last forever, we do not recommend putting them in the dishwasher. The reality for our restaurant partners is they must put the steak knives in the dishwasher for sanitation and efficiency. Using 440c steel and G10 composite, we have created the most durable steak knife available. While maintaining excellent edge holding, 440c steel also has heightened stain resistance and takes a better polish for presentation than our workhorse culinary steel, CPM-S35VN. The G10 composite handle is completely waterproof and resists the heat and thermal expansion that over time and repeated dishwashing, would otherwise cause the handle to separate from the blade. Sturdy rivets and aerospace grade epoxy also ensure that separation will not happen. Our steak knives are not cheap, but if you amortize their value over decades (we really want to say centuries but it sounds like hyperbole) and the pleasure they bring to the finest dining occasion they are…priceless.

Artist Bio:
As early as 12 years old, Jack Rellstab started making knives. His first forays weren’t necessarily a success - aluminum isn’t exactly the ideal blade material. Jack’s life really changed once his father told him that he could use power tools. “It changed my whole mindset, it opened up a door to make things.” From the beginning, he saw materials and thought to himself, “what can I make out of this?” After plenty of trial, error, and countless YouTube videos, Jack started honing his skills as a knifemaker. From the beginning, he had the mindset of making his knives to the highest standard he possibly could. As his mentor, Kevin Casey once said, “good and good enough are not the same thing.”
At 15 years old he responded to our ad in the paper looking for a knife sharpener. Even though we didn’t hire him at the time, it was the inception of something special. Not too long after, Jack started to bring in his knives to be sold in our Jackson store. Never to be satisfied, Jack still continues to refine his knife-making skills and, as of June 2021, is one of the youngest ABS Journeymen knife makers. Working out of a brand new workshop built in partnership with New West KnifeWorks, Jack Rellstab is poised to put his mark on the knife world.
