Description

The blade is CPM S35VN particle metallurgy steel — the same super steel trusted by U.S. Special Forces for field knives, ground and hand-finished in Victor, Idaho at our 24-hour factory in the shadow of the Teton Range. Hand-sharpened before it leaves our shop. The only step no machine can match.

The handle is Grade A Rocky Mountain elk antler, naturally shed and sourced in the high country. No two pieces are identical. Every knife in this run carries its own section of antler — different grain, different coloring, different character. The antler is fitted to a stick tang, a deliberate construction choice that keeps this knife perfectly balanced despite the natural variation in handle weight. It sits in the hand the way a working knife should: like it was made for you.

Between blade and handle, a sterling silver bolster. Flush-fitted. It holds the transition cleanly and catches the light in a way that makes you look at the knife twice before you put it down.

This is not a display piece. It is a working knife built from materials that happen to be beautiful — the New West KnifeWorks definition of functional art. Use it every day. Pass it down.

90 were made in this run. Get one while this run lasts.

Use & Care

  • Hand wash with warm soapy water and hand dry for maximum edge retention and stain resistance. For safety and edge protection, store dry knives in their leather sheath, in a wood block, or on a magnet designed to hold knives. For a full tune-up: free lifetime sharpening.
  • Do not put in the dishwasher - this will dull the knife.
  • For edge retention, cut only on wood or softer plastic cutting boards.
  • As needed, apply a light coat of mineral oil to the handle with a soft cloth to enhance vibrance.
