“I'm very happy with the balance and weight of the 9" chef knife knife. The handle fits in my hand securely and comfortably. The blade is easy to control and the edge is very durable.”
“Flat out, the BEST kitchen knife I have ever used. I bought it for my wife as a gift and she absolutely loves it! I got it personalized for her and even with the customization, it arrived quickly. The ironwood handle feels so great in the hand and the quality of craftsmanship is unlike any knife we have owned thus far. The S35VN steel is something I might expect in a higher-end folder but in a chef knife, it's a game changer. It is by far the sharpest knife we own. I look forward to getting more knives from New West Knife Works in the future, top drawer all the way.”
“This is a superbly crafted knife. I immediately noticed the differences in build quality and detail from other chefs knives that I had been using. I work at a fine-dining restaurant which has a very high number of nightly covers for a restaurant of our quality and price range, so the prep work is immense and exacting. This knife handles it all beautifully. The knife is comfortable to hold, both on the blade and on the handle, and it somehow is able to feel both nimble enough to maneuver in tight spaces and sturdy enough to crush any task. The blade also sharpens and holds its edge really well. I've been ecstatic with this knife so far and I'm looking forward to adding more New West tools to my kit as time goes on.”
“This knife is so good my Culinary instructor asks to use it for butchery demonstrations. It is the sharpest knife in the class and the size, weight, and blade thickness are perfect.”
