For those of us who love fine food, cooking is an art, and the knife is the artist's brush. 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.

The following is a reply from New West Knife Works to our question – "Are your products American Made?"

How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.

We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.

To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.

What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
