Chef’s Choice products include small appliances and sharpening systems as well as electric slicers and kitchen cutlery. Chef’s Choice best American-made knives with forged blades and molded synthetic grips use some of the industry’s best steel. Edgecraft Corporation claims that Chef’s Choice Trizor knives hold an edge ten times longer than competitive brands, and outperform fragile ceramic knives.
Edgecraft Corporation started in 1984 in Avondale, Pennsylvania, and introduced the Chef’s Choice brand the following year. The Avondale facility still produces a full line of knife sharpeners, waffle makers, electric knives and more. Edgecraft first marketed the Chef’s Choice Trizor line of kitchen knives in 1992, using high carbon content steel originally developed for aerospace applications. Trizor steel held an edge three times sharper than conventional stainless steel blades and kept that edge up to ten times as long as the usual high carbon stainless steel.
Chef’s Choice built the first Gourmet Electric Food Slicer in 1994, adding affordable home versions of the rotary knife later. In 1995, the Chef’s Choice Model 2000 Commercial Diamond Hone targeted the sharpening needs of restaurants and other industrial users. In 1996, Chef’s Choice added a line of budget-priced knives intended for commercial uses.
Chef’s Choice products include some notable industry firsts, like the first electric sharpener for Asian knives. Chef’s Choice also developed the first electric sharpener to properly hone either the 20 degree edge bevel of American and European blades, or the more acute 15 degree edge of Asian blades. Some sharpeners from Chef’s Choice offer one-step perfection — sharpening, steeling and stropping the knife edge on one machine.
If you’re looking for a sharpening system, this brand offers more than 100 models to choose from. Several models of Chef’s Choice electric slicers offer deli-cut precision for the home kitchen. For a traditional knife, choose either the budget line of kitchen cutlery in high carbon stainless steel, or the Professional Trizor 10X series with better sharpness and a long-lasting edge.
