The Tip is 'Keep eyes open' After reading an article about items made in America I thought about how many times I make purchases without thinking. I'm usually focused on budget and needs. Prior to reading this article on made in the USA products, I rarely thought about the importance of buying made in USA products. This helps create jobs in our country. Now I keep my eyes open and I am surprised how easy it is to find American products. It only takes a few seconds to look. Now I make a point when I am shopping to search for made in America brands. By doing so, I'm able to identify more and more what products are made in America. Even with my eyes open to made in USA I can get discouraged. Sometimes store clerks don't know the country of origin which can be frustrating. If this happens use your eyes to find the origin information yourself. Look at the labels and when you find a Made in USA product tell the clerk so the next time they are asked they will know. Also, when the label is not easily seen I use the other made in America buying tips to help me find made in USA. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. When enough people are asking for made in the USA products, more stores will begin to carry products that are made here. This technique does work. I also pick and choose the stores I visit. I do this because I have found that some stores are made in America friendly while others are not. Keep your eyes open for the made in USA label and pretty soon you will be able to identify which products are made in the USA.

At New West KnifeWorks, we make our knives like we cook, we use the finest ingredients and prepare them with the patient hands of an artist. Each knife is a finely crafted masterpiece, a fusion of form and function. New West KnifeWorks was founded by Corey Milligan originally 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. Corey has had much success in this mission. The knives have been accepted at many of the nation's top juried fine art shows and have won several awards. Furthermore, the knives have been featured in many of the nation's top publications. Corey Milligan Corey runs the worldwide headquarters of New West Knifeworks in beautiful Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He spent many years working in commercial kitchens where he learned the importance and pleasure of working with a fine knife. He's used many different qualities of blades and has the scars to prove it! This experience inspired him to design tools that are beautiful but, even more importantly, are functional, durable, and the finest quality knives available anywhere. New West KnifeWorks knives are the culmination of countless hours of hands on work, intensive study, and the instruction of other knife-makers in the U.S. and Japan. My passion for creating fine cutlery is matched by my love of fine food. Of course, growing up in Ohio with mom's midwestern home-cooking. Early lessons in preparing Asian cuisine. Cooking in commercial kitchens. Living in California and cooking with my brother-in-law and James Beard award winning chef, Chris Kidder. The challenge of growing, hunting and gathering the freshest natural ingredients in Jackson Hole. All of these influences lead me to create unique cuisine which I guess you might call 'New Western' as well. This passion for fine food constantly inspires me to create, test and refine my cutlery into the finest tools available anywhere. - Corey Milligan |
