“I purchased the 5” chopper as a gift for a dear friend who admired mine during a recent visit. She “happy cried” when she received it and I am sure is making good use of it. I’ve had mine for five years, use it every single day. It’s a workhorse and a work of art!”
“This is a great American made knife! The balance and weight of this knife makes it perfect for slicing, dicing and chopping smaller items. This is the perfect mate to the Western Chef knife. These are both part of my American steel knife collection which sits in our drink prep area.”
“We are frequent customers and are largely satisfied with all the knives we've purchased as gifts, and for our own family. The Sherwood chopper is just one of many examples of great craftmanship and artistry in your inventory. We remain grateful for this company.”
“The fabrication, fit, and finish of the knife are all impeccable;. It is also visually beautiul. The 40 mm blade depth is really nice, and the balance is comfortable, though it is on the heavy side for a 5 inch knife. On the other side, out of the box it's just not very sharp-about equivalent to the factory edge of well-known European offerings but considerably less sharp than other knives I own, including santokus from Mr. Itou (R2 powder steel core), Kramer (especially the 'stainless Damascus' with a core of SG2 powder steel), and a Takeda gyuto with a core of Aogami Super which is the sharpest knife I own. Just a few minutes with my water stones brought the edge to where it could push cut through a steet of newsprint held at right angles, dice an onion effortlessly, and dice a tough, fibrous serrano chile easily.”
“This is an amazingly versatile kitchen knife, heavy enough for hard cutting, but perfectly sized and balanced for prep work. I am supremely impressed with the quality, and the appearance, of the blade.”
“Beautiful work of art and extremely functional knowledge knife! The fourth we have purchased from new west knives. Two were wedding gifts for a friend and then just had to buy a couple for us. Love them (and so did our friend!)”
