“I now own 3 knives from New West Knifeworks, all bought at once,mall because the chef's knife was reviewed so positively They're all beautiful, mostly well-balanced, and they're just not sharp!!
I don't mean they're dull, but that they're the sort of sharp one gets after a long period of use before sharpening again. The chefs knife required a great deal of force to dice parsnips. It didn't exactly cut a large carrot as if going through butter, more like going through a resistent sludge.
IOW, they're not a good value, at least in my experience. I'm going to sharpen all of them: paring knife, utility knife, and 7 " chefs knife. Maybe I'll change my mind. I hope so.
For the relative amounts being charged, these knifes should pare veggies all by themselves, rather than requiring a crew of younger sous chefs to ease the burden.”
“The knife is beautiful and feels nice when I’m using it. I was disappointed that the blade was a bit dull when I received it. Took it in for the free sharpening and now it’s great.”
