“I am a home cook, and as a retired surgeon, an aficionado of all things sharp.
I am writing with that perspective.
The overall design and construction of the knife is among the very best that I have used.
More importantly the selection of the blade steel and the “non-stick” Teton etching are all about durability, edge holding and functionality.
The out of the box edge is more than adequate. I intend to use my stones to see how much the edge can take. Nothing like pushing the sharp was to the extreme!
My only personal “improvement” has need to round the junction of the micarta handle where it would otherwise meet my pinch gripped index finger.
Just a personal preference for comfort.
This is a go to high performance piece, and an addition to my five other New West Knifeworks weapons!
Good job folks!”
