And for those history buffs, here is a little about the man behind the Chefs Choice Knife Sharpener… His name is Daniel Friel, Sr. He proclaims himself to just be a basic inventor. Instead of retirement, Friel began constructing a list of possible entrepreneurial ventures, evaluating each opportunity in relation to his skill set, limitations, amount of time and energy required and the potential for success. Having always been fascinated with knife sharpening, Friel looked at his knife sharpening endeavor a bit closer. He recalls a frustration in not being able to sharpen a set of Gerber knives given to his wife as a present. He then set out to start work from the basement laboratory of his home and with the assistance of professionals, started piecing together the nucleus of the 'EdgeCraft' team. Friel and his team created thirteen prototypes before landing on the right one. Soon after the Chefs Choice Electric Knife Sharpener introduction, it earned the acclaim of food experts and chefs worldwide, including Jacques Pepin and the late, great Craig Claiborne.
