100% Made in the USA. Guaranteed for Life.
Our story begins in 1948. The war was over, and aluminum and steel were no longer needed to help the war effort. That’s when the manufacturing of our aluminum handle kitchen knives started in earnest from a humble family-owned business in Iowa.
Lots has changed since then, but we’re still family owned and operated, and those knives have become famous. As a matter of fact, some of our original silver handle knives – Regular Paring, Steak/Utility, and Slicer – are still in production!
Today we continue to bring you that same made-in-the-USA quality in ALL types of products, from dozens of outstanding knives to commercial-grade pans and so much more. As our journey continues, we invite you to be part of our story.
Every one of our products is handcrafted in the heart of the USA, with materials only from America. Our strong heritage and Midwest values assure dependability you can believe in and sharp good looks you’ll be proud to have in your home.
For more than 70 years, we’ve been crafting knives that stand the test of time. Our blades are created with surgical-quality, T420 high-carbon stainless steel and each is meticulously hand-sharpened to a razor-sharp edge. We build each with the highest expectations… a lifetime of use, guaranteed.
