Description

The One Knife to Do It All—Now in MagnaCut

This limited-edition 9” Chef Knife is your chance to own a piece of New West KnifeWorks history. We’ve taken our flagship blade and reimagined it in CPM MagnaCut—a breakthrough stainless steel known for its exceptional toughness, excellent edge retention, and outstanding stain resistance. MagnaCut allows for a higher hardness rating (61–62 HRC), meaning sharper edges and thinner grinds without sacrificing durability.

Each knife is finished with a hand-selected Desert Ironwood handle, chosen from our finest stock for this release, and paired with a signature New West blue G10 liner. Mosaic pin included. Only 47 knives made, each individually numbered.

This is more than a limited release—it’s part of our ongoing steel testing process, and your feedback will help shape the future of our kitchen knife line. Whether you’re a pro chef, passionate home cook, or NWKW superfan, this is the knife you’ve been waiting for.

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.

The New West Difference

Unmatched Performance

We crafted this knife with CPM MagnaCut, a next-generation particle metallurgy steel engineered for peak performance. It offers an exceptional balance of sharpness, edge-holding, stain resistance, and toughness—with the added benefit of being hardened to a higher Rockwell rating for even longer-lasting precision.

Limited-Edition Ironwood Handle

We hand-picked our finest Desert Ironwood for this limited run, paired with a bold blue G10 liner. It’s tough to work with, but the result is a handle that’s stunning, ultra-durable, and built to last a lifetime.

American Made

Every knife we make is crafted from start to finish by an individual maker in the Teton Mountains using American steel and backed by a lifetime guarantee.
