Chicago Cutlery began in 1930 conditioning knives and catered particularly to professional butchers and packing plants. As the demand for sharp knives grew, Chicago Cutlery was introduced by its founder, Alfred Paulson, and Chicago Cutlery evolved into a knife manufacturing business for the meat and poultry industry. Their knives were designed to meet the tough demands of professional knife users. Chicago Cutlery was not widely available to the retail market until it was introduced in 1969 by Ronald Gangelhoff. Ronald Galgelhoff made the line’s professional cutlery available to consumers bringing professional, razor-sharp knives into the home for the first time. This became a historical move for Chicago Cutlery, thus a consumer market for fine-edged knives was born. Chicago Cutlery with its legendary status is hailed as the knife experts. Today they have various collections of knives, knife sets, and cutlery block sets for every food preparation need. They designed the Landmark Edition Collection specially for their 75th anniversary. The Landmark Edition of knives and cutlery is constructed with an exclusive Taper Grind edge techhology for optimum sharpness. With its elegant design, it would be a great addition or replacement of old knives in any kitchen.
