American Made on the Cutting Edge Again
Highly skilled hands and modern precision tools have worked together to create new standards in the quality and workmanship of American made kitchen and chef knives. At New West KnifeWorks, the finest materials are sculpted, assembled, and hand-finished to ensure every piece is a perfect work of art. (Learn more about our G-Fusion knives.)
For more than a decade, New West's founder, Corey Milligan, exhibited these knives and won awards at the top juried fine art shows in the U.S. The brand’s American made knives have since been featured in top culinary and design magazines.
We have spent the last several decades on a quest to find the ultimate steel for our knives. This journey has taken us around the world, from Sweden to Seki, Japan.
After studying the great traditions of knife making, we realized we could do it better back home, using breakthroughs in metallurgy led by advanced American industries. All New West knives are made with U.S.A. steel at our production facility in Victor, Idaho.
Both Sharp & Durable
The traditional knife-making powerhouses have been Germany and Japan, with kitchen knives developed to address the cooking styles and needs of these countries.
In Japan, the diet and cuisine called for a knife that is used primarily for slicing, and the traditional Japanese knife is therefore extremely sharp.
Meanwhile, German knives were developed primarily to handle chopping and are known for their toughness and durability. In the modern kitchen, however, people need to do a variety of tasks. Chopping and slicing. We've created the ultimate American made kitchen knives using the best of those Eastern and Western traditions: super sharp and extremely tough.
