“This is my 6th knife from New West Knifeworks (not all cooking) and one of my favorites! It can do just about everything from cutting hard deli meats to gently slicing soft bread. You just can't go wrong with having this on your cutting board. Pair this with a Western Chef and your knife collection is off to a great start!”
“I started coveting New West knives years ago after seeing their ads in Fine Cooking magazine (R.I.P.). They were gorgeous but pricey, so I kept using what I thought were decent knives. Last year I treated myself to the Deli knife and realized the value of the knife is greater than the cost. It slices through both delicate croissants and dense bagels with ease. I cut up Uncrustables for a family member and it leaves the PB&J unharmed. I then bought the Teton Santoku and a paring knife, and do not use any of my other old knives. I also purchased a set of the same three knives as a wedding/housewarming present for my niece and her fiance. Lastly, as you wash and dry the knife (by hand, of course), the blade makes a sound like a fine sword being drawn from its sheath. Well crafted, beautiful, and of course, functional.”
“A nice knife. I have tried using this knife as a general board knife but I would not recommend that having caught my finger nail once or twice (but never cut myself on the serrations). This thing is sharp! A great knife for tomatoes and other soft veg and fruit. It also works great as a small bread knife for beagles and flatter rustic loafs.”
