my garlic ninja.

{i hope you enjoyed this little presentation.}

{sharp and sexy!}

{best with a cheese plate.}

{a true ninja.}

{in comparison to big brother, the fusion chef knife.}

{the peacock handle.}

this fall i purchased jeff this beautiful knife for his birthday.  since i've been back home, i've used it every. single. night.  i kid you not.  the guys over at New West KnifeWorks must have felt my whole-hearted love for that knife because they offered me a new one, the mini chopper.  i've been giving my new knife way more attention lately.

i like to call it my garlic ninja.  at least that's what i feel like when i'm slicing and dicing. this power just comes over me.  to be honest, i've been adding garlic to everything these days, just so i can whip out the mini chopper.  it's also awesomely gorgeous so i use it when we have guests over.  the handle (just like our fusion chef knife) is the peacock color and it's pretty much my favorite thing to look at in the kitchen.  the colors are stunning and we are slowly but surely building up to a complete set!  doesn't it just look perfect with a gourmet cheese plate?  i certainly enjoy showing it off. 

*locals note:  the fun slate board is from local shop, Made.

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.
