Chicago Cutlery began in 1930
as a knife conditioning service that catered to professional butchers and
packing plants. When the demand for sharp knives increased, Chicago Cutlery
evolved into a knife manufacturing business for the meat and poultry industry.
In 1969, Chicago Cutlery entered the retail market with professional cutlery.
Knives designed to meet the tough demands of professional knife users became
available for home use. Today, the Chicago Cutlery brand is owned by World
Kitchen, LLC which continues to market the same type of innovative
products that made Chicago Cutlery one of the most trusted and well known names
in knives.
