Behind the Blades: The Machine That’s Changing How We Make Knives Media

We're taking American knife-making to the next level.

Join New West KnifeWorks founder Corey Milligan and VP of Production Erin Hemmings as they give you a behind-the-scenes look at our newest shop addition: the HAAS VM-2 CNC Milling Machine. This powerful tool is changing the way we design, prototype, and produce — allowing us to move faster, innovate more freely, and bring even more precision into every blade we make.

Whether you're a machinist, maker, knife enthusiast, or just love seeing how things get built — this deep dive shows how high-performance tools help create high-performance products.

What we cover in this video:

- What a HAAS VM-2 milling machine actually does
- Why we brought it into our Teton Valley shop
- How it impacts our product development, from prototypes to production
- What this upgrade means for customers and the future of New West KnifeWorks
