For those of us who love fine food, cooking is an art, and a quality knife is the artist’s brush. Raw fish is probably the most difficult thing there is to cut cleanly. That’s why over centuries the Japanese have developed a special knife just for this purpose. Though cooking of large roasts in Japan is rare, the sashimi will cut a roast beef or ham like no knife you have ever seen.

The knife has such a unique swirling grain pattern on the metal that it inspired hours of research into Damascus steel. The only knowledge retained – it’s a complex process that takes a lot of time but makes a durable blade.

The knife is well balanced and fits nicely in your hand, regardless of hand size. The grip is solid, and you’ll never have a problem of the blade separating from the handle like you get with cheap knives.

The handle of  the knife is waterproof, and resistant to stains, chemicals, bacteria and molds. Not only does it’s non-porous quality make it the most durable handle material on the market, it also gives it an attractive, seamless appearance.

Used everyday, this expensive knife is worth its price. Mommas that like exceptional quality will be surprised when New West KnifeWorks Sashimi Knife exceeds your expectations.

A little about the company: New West KnifeWorks was founded by Corey Milligan and Michael Merriman as a partnership to design, develop, and produce knives for fine art and craft shows. From its inception, the goal has been not only to produce the finest quality knives in the world, but also to design these tools to be works of art that inspire excellence in food preparation and beautify the kitchen. The team has had much success in this mission. Michael retired from the company in 2005 to pursue a different muse. Corey has three children under five and is taking a year or two off from traveling to Art Shows, but is still developing new and exciting cutlery.
