At New West KnifeWorks, every knife tells a story—of craftsmanship, performance, and the rugged beauty of the American West. Our Glory Folder is no exception. Designed for those who demand both elegance and reliability in an everyday carry (EDC) knife, this semi-custom pocketknife is built to handle anything from cutting baling twine to dressing an elk in the backcountry. And behind every knife is a skilled maker, ensuring that every detail is perfect.

In our latest video, we step inside the New West KnifeWorks factory in Victor, Idaho, where pocket knife maker Jordan Welch walks us through the process of assembling a semi-custom Glory Folder. With precision and patience, Jordan fits together each piece—carefully shaping the elk antler handle to achieve a flawless hand-fit and finish.

Elk antler isn’t just about looks—it’s a natural material that offers a unique texture and grain, making every knife one-of-a-kind. As Jordan demonstrates in the video, the antler is shaved down and sculpted to create an ergonomic, comfortable grip, ensuring that the final product is as functional as it is beautiful.
