the sharpest gift this season.

before i left on my 3 month adventure, i purchased a very special gift for jeff's birthday.  jeff loves to cook so i wanted him to have a new friend in the kitchen while i was away.  and let's be honest, i'll be using his new knife as well when i return...(a win-win, really).  he has always admired the gorgeous knifes from locally owned New West Knifeworks, so i knew an all-round knife was the perfect gift.  he has seriously been raving about his new best friend blade for the last few months. 

first off, all of the products are made in the good old u.s.a, including the steel blades.  not only are these knives beautiful to look at, they make even the most amateur chef feel like a pro.  each colorful layer was cut, dyed, and fused together to make a comfortable handle.  it makes slicing and dicing a breeze.  as jeff says, "it cuts through anything, even steak, like butter!" the fusion chef knife featured above, is his go-to in the kitchen and the boy loves it.  

i can't think of a better gift this holiday season for anyone who loves to cook. every individual knife truly is a work of art.  not only are there an array of knives and sets to choose from, New West Knifeworks also offers plenty of accessories that you can find here.  

*locals note: stop by the shop anytime to get your knives sharpened, for free~
