JACKSON, Wyo. — What does it take to melt and shape metal? This Saturday, Aug. 21, New West KnifeWorks is hosting an event for the community to get a closer look at their knife makers. From 9 a.m. – 2 p.m., live demonstrations will take place next to their shop on Town Square. Plus, from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. on site knife sharpening will be available.

2021 has been an eventful year for the Jackson-born knife company. In April of 2021, an article in the Wall Street Journal sang praises about the dexterity of New West KnifeWorks’ USA-made fish spatula. The response thereafter was enormous, and New West ran out of fish spatulas in a few short hours. It took a few months, but the now-famous spatulas are back in stock.
Highlighting the features of what makes this tool great, the Wall Street Journal wrote, “thin and pliant, it is designed, as the name indicates, to slide under a delicate fillet without flaking it apart, yet it’s sturdy enough to ferry the fish from skillet to plate.”
A couple months later, more praise came in – top YouTube chef knife reviewer, Chef Justin Khanna, produced a video about New West’s G-Fusion 8” Chef Knife. He described the knife “as feeling like a sports car.” When test driving the knife through a series of cutting board challenges, he said, “it’s such a nimble and close-to-the-board knife and I love it.”
See these locally-made tools for yourself and stop by the New West KnifeWorks store in Jackson, WY at 98 Center Street.
