Description

Born in the Mountains, At Home in the Bakery.

The Superbread performs heroic deeds on crusty sourdough, but its powers reach well past the breadbasket: roasts, tomatoes, gravlax, anything soft that crushes under a straight edge. Our proprietary WaveGrind™ serration cuts clean without tearing, and you can hone and fully sharpen it at home with a ceramic or diamond steel. Bon Appétit's Amiel Stanek put it simply: "It doesn't shred tomatoes the way your average serrated knife does." The tall blade leaves room for your knuckles all the way to the bottom of the loaf.

The Teton Range is etched into both sides of the blade. It's a tribute to the mountains above our factory, and it does real work, helping food release from the steel after every cut. We apply it with a proprietary cold process, because grinding heat can disturb the precision of the steel's heat treatment.

Then there's the handle. Elk antler is never the same twice. Near the butt it runs dark and deeply ridged, textured like bark. Toward the blade it smooths into pale ivory, polished where your fingers rest. Every handle has its own grain, coloring, and character, so the one you hold won't look like anyone else's. A stainless steel bolster, machined to match its own tang, holds the line between antler and steel.

CPM S35VN particle metallurgy steel, finished and hand-sharpened by one individual knife maker in Victor, Idaho. Comes with a leather sheath. Built to be used, trusted, and passed down for generations.

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.

Pro Chef's Review

My favorite knife. This can literally cut through the hood of a car if need be.

The New West Difference

Unmatched Performance

We use CPM S35VN particle metallurgy steel, which has the best combination of sharpness, toughness, edge-holding, stain resistance, and sharpenability on the market. Our proprietary WaveGrind™ process precision-grinds a single-bevel serration that slices bread, meats, and tomatoes cleanly. You can hone it and fully sharpen it at home with a ceramic or diamond steel.

One of One Elk Handles

No two elk antler handles are alike. Each carries its own texture, grain, and color, from dark, ridged crown to smooth ivory, finished to a stainless steel bolster matched to its tang.

The Teton Range, Twice Over

Etched into both sides of the blade with a proprietary cold process. It helps food release after every cut, and no grinding heat ever touches the steel's heat treatment.
