Sunset Feature On the Cutting Edge: The Making of the West’s Best Knives

The Secrets of a Super Sharp Knife
Sunset video tutorial with our founder, Corey Milligan, on keeping your knives super sharp.

New West KnifeWorks recently welcomed in Matt Bean from Sunset Magazine for a behind the scenes tour of our Victor, Idaho production facility.
