Every man knows that knives aren’t just for cooking. What if you’re attacked by bandits? Or you need to, uh, cut a rope? The New West tactical outdoor chef knife looks exactly like the pretty, expensive, handmade, full-tang knife that it is. But pick it up, why don’t you? Feel the heft—and that balance, forged by a beveled swage grind atop the blade. Feels good in your hand, doesn’t it? Note its form: It is nearly a Bowie knife, the shape of American stabbing. Damn, you could probably win a knife fight with this. I have twirled this knife in my hand, feeling my oats.
But in the meantime, until you use this knife to save your family and maybe the whole country … it’s actually a hell of a meat and grill knife. The sharp tip is good for butterflying, the serrated cutout offers twine- or tomato-cutting utility, and the shape is ideal to cleave thick slabs of tender meat or butterfly a fish. I didn’t know I loved this knife as much as I did until I misplaced it for a moment after grilling. Man, I was mad.
