Ergo Chef,
The Sous Chef in my restaurant was using your knives & loved
them, so I had to try them for myself. After rigorous use I was
very impressed and have to tell you that your knives are very
comfortable and the best I have ever used. I have used all types
and brands as a chef. Ergo Chef holds an edge better than any
knife I ever had, and the construction is rock solid. Because of
your quality and superior edge I have purchased a complete set
at the Kitch N Kaffe in Mahopac, NY and love them. Thanks for an
excellent product that my chefs and I thoroughly enjoy using.

 I
met Michael and Scott Staib, designers, founders and owners of
Ergo Chef Knives at a food show I recently did. I was drawn in
by the very cool design of the knife and charmed by the
disarming charisma of the brothers and their passion for knives
and cooking. I tried a knife at their booth and liked it enough
to buy one. I have not used another knife since (and I have
loads of them…). This knife is all they say it is and more. I
use the 6-inch blade because I like a small knife.

 Dear Ergo Chef,
I am taking a break from recipe testing and I wanted you to
know that the Pro-Series 8” Chef knife has become my "go-to"
kitchen knife. I love the weight, the balance, the shape and
the sharpness of the blade! It is making a weekend of
chopping much easier.

 What
Chef Andrew Selz says about using Ergo Chef
Pro-Series Cutlery
With countless hours of knife skills I perform everyday, the
Ergo Chef knife collection has provided extreme comfort in my
wrist and hands. The weight and balance of the knives along with
the solid craftsmanship have become an exciting new addition to
my culinary cutlery. I would recommend Ergo Chef Pro Series from
the home cook to the most discriminating chef.”

 I
found Ergo Chef cutlery through Knife-Pro, a cutlery sales and
service operation in the Boston area. I have been using your
knives for months now and really like the comfort of the
Pro-Series cutlery and appreciate the durable edge. Great
Product!

 I have been a chef for 30 years using all kinds of cutlery
until recently, when I discovered Ergo Chef at a food show. I
now use Ergo Chef cutlery because it offers the highest quality,
comfort and ergonomics of any cutlery I have ever used. The
cutlery is fantastic!Executive Chef Guy Mitchell, PA

At first glance I was taken back by the 8” Ergo Chef’s
unusual design and was skeptical of its cutting ability.
From the first vegetable I sliced it was as if a weight had
been lifted from my fingers. There was an automatic, almost
effortless, gliding of the knife slice after slice. I’ve
owned all the big names in the knife industry and this is
the only one that not only has the chef’s task in mind but
also the health of their joints and fingers. Years of
slicing and chopping can take its toll. There was no
cramping or joint pain after hours of slicing.
The Ergo Chef knife has the durability of the classic French
and German knives with the cutting precision of the top
Japanese brands. I highly recommend this to not only the
home cook but any serious culinary professional.

I purchased your 10” Diamond Sharpening steel, and it works
wonderful. I want to thank you for saving me the expense of
having my older set of Chicago Cutlery knives professionally
sharpened not to mention the time to find a sharpener and
being without my knives for a few days. It was so easy to
sharpen my knives.

Dear Ergo Chef guys and 'girls',
Thank you so much for the wonderful service from your
company. We love our new kitchen knives. I ordered them on
such short notice, but would like you to know got them in
time for our Russian Christmas dinner preparations on the
7th of January.
Thanks again,

I wanted to tell you that I am really
enjoying my new Pro-Series Knives.
They make all cutting & chopping a breeze. These are so much
better than my old knives, no comparison;
And the steak Knives are sensational!

My Husband and I love our new Pro-Series

use and very sharp.
Thanks for such a beautiful precision product that really
makes preparing food easier and more comfortable.

I have to tell you that I cook every day
and your knives have been wonderful to use. They are more
comfortable and stay sharp longer than any other knives we
have used in the past. We just want to say we love your
Pro-Series cutlery.

My gorgeous daughter brought the knife back
for me as a gift for Mother's Day.
It is just wonderful; handles and cuts beautifully. I'm very
glad I read all the advertisements in Fine Cooking and
Saveur - Eagle Eye Testro they call me!
Once again, thank you for T.C.B and I'm sure the knife will
give me great pleasure. As if you haven't guessed, I do
quite a lot of cooking!
Kind regards,

Hi Scott,
We just wanted to let you know we received the 12 piece
knife set with block and it is perfect. Your web-site makes
it so easy to order and the package was received within 2
days.
Each of the knives have such a precision look & feel, are so
well balanced & perfectly weighted, are razor sharp and easy
to care for. The 8” Ergo Chef Knife makes cutting veggies a
breeze. These are the only knives we will be using from now
on.
We are proud to know Ergo Chef and highly recommend these
knives. We wish you and your family all the luck in the
world for a successful business.
Thank you again,
Tom & Susan Keenan |

Thank you for the helpful video on your
website. It gave me some good tips on how to use my
beautiful Ergo Chef Pro-Series knives. I really love the
quality and comfort of the knives, you did a great job in
the detail and designs. They make cooking more enjoyable for
me.
Thanks for a great product.

Ergo-Chef,
I have had the knives for close to a year now. They are by
far the best knives out there. My wife and I looked around
at the competition but were won over by the quality and form
of use of these knives, great ergo design. I cook almost
daily and cut a lot of vegetables and love the chef knives.
These knives are a great value to anyone who cooks and I
recommend them highly!!!

Just wanted to drop you a line and let you
know how much I have enjoyed using your knives. I heard
about them from my brother, who heard about them from a
chef, who is dating his wife’s sister. They insisted that I
give them a try and they didn’t steer me wrong. Thanks!

Hi Ergo Chef,
I purchased your 8'" chefs knife a few weeks ago, currently I'm
enrolled at Le Cordon Bleu, Las Vegas, and I just wanted to say
how much I like your knife, it's just great! So comfortable and
easy to use, I can't wait until the 10" chef’s knife comes out!
This past weekend I did some volunteer work at a local Hotel,
and every time one of the Chefs saw my new 8” Ergo Chef knife
they had to stop and have a look, a few of them used it and they
all loved it. I dropped off some brochures for them and I told
them of your web site.
Anyway, thanks for such a super knife my hands will be forever
grateful.

Dear Ergo Chef,
I recently received my 12 pc. kitchen knife set which I ordered
through your web site, and was pleasantly surprised by the
entire package.
First of all, the hardwood block is beautiful and has a great,
radiused design. It compliments our newly remodeled kitchen
nicely.
The quality of the knives is first rate, and the unique handle
design makes them more comfortable and natural to use than other
knives we have had.
We have already used them quite alot, and judging from the way
they hold their edge, these knives will last many years.
I've given away my old Henckels and I will gladly recommend Ergo
Chef knives to friends and relatives.
Sincerely,
Eric Muller

Catering to VIP-travelers of many airlines in Berlin, I
produce a large quantity of foods and exhibit food show
pieces on a daily basis. Because of my long-time
activity/occupation in gastronomy, (I am 49 years old) I
have tried many knives. With the Ergo Chef knife, I was able
for the first time to accomplish much safer and successful
cuts and at the same time relieve the strain on my wrist.
Not just to experts but also to the beginner, I can
recommend the use of this knife with good conscience. |

 Executive
Chef - Tay McKamy
Black Rock Yacht Club, CT.“Re-inventing the Wheel?”
I was introduced to the Ergo Chef cutlery while hosting culinary
classes at a kitchen retailer. Upon inspection the quality,
materials and workmanship were comparable to Henckels and Wusthof.
But, if you are already using the best steel, how much can a
knife really be improved on?
Well, this is where the unique design of the 8” Ergo Chef knife
came into play. Upon chopping my first onion, I noticed the
difference. The angle of the butt in relation to the blade make
chopping more comfortable because there is less motion needed to
make the knife meet the cutting board. The angle seems to
increase the pressure of the motion without the use of extra
force.
The knife is “my favorite in the rack.” I purchased extras to
outfit my kitchen staff. It’s now the only brand my staff wants
to use. The quality is top notch but it’s the “comfort” of use I
can’t do without.

“The Ergo Chef Knife is by far the most comfortable knife I have
ever used in a kitchen. I would have to say that the design of
the knife makes it very unique which in this business is one of
exception and elegance. In the short time in which I have used
the knife it has taken the place of almost every knife I use in
the kitchen. The ergonomical design of the handle is one of
class. Scott Staib has done a great job of making the comfort
level of knives a priority. I would recommend this knife to
anyone in the culinary field, that being chefs, line cooks, prep
cooks and even students. I would like to thank Scott for his
enthusiasm and devotion to his work and field by saying that the
Ergo Chef knife is by far the best knife on the market."

“I reach for my 8” Ergo Chef knife before any other knife in
my assortment of family heirloom knives. As a sufferer of both
carpel tunnel syndrome and arthritis, the Ergo Chef knife allows
me to prepare foods without the aftermath of pain. I prefer to
use a few excellent multi-functional kitchen tools that will
serve for a lifetime. I believe Ergo Chef is one of these
products.”

"The overall contour of the 8" chef knife is unique, with the
handle and blade being very comfortable and familiar. The weight
and look of the knife is very attractive. After using the knife
and getting familiar with it, it took less hand movement for the
blade to cut. The slope of the knife was comfortable to hold. I
was very excited to use the Ergo Chef knife and it did not
disappoint me. I let my entire kitchen staff try the knife and
everyone thought it worked and felt great."
CIA Graduate Carey Favreau,
Executive Chef of GlenArbor Golf Club |

"The 8" Ergo Chef Knife is by far one of the best knives I
have used. In my opinion they have a precision cutting edge that
is equal to the Henkel's and Wusthof's of the world, with an
added feature. An Ergonomic handle which adds comfort that
allows you to cut, chop, and dice with ease and comfort for
hours. I would highly recommend this precision knife to anybody
in the foodservice business and for the frugal gourmet at home."

"Chef Scott Staib and Mr. Len Staib have manufactured an
incredible product. It is sometimes difficult as professionals
to change tools that are different than what we are used to,
especially when we have developed an emotional comfort level
with the tools that we currently use. It is not surprising that
the students in my culinary arts class quickly adapted to the
knife. Now they beg to use the Ergo Chef chef knife, which was
left for the class to use after Chef Scott Staib and Mr. Len
Staib gave an inspiring demonstration to my students. The
response of my students helped to "open my mind" to give the
knife a try. I am glad that I did, it is so comfortable, precise
and balanced. I cannot wait until the full production line is
available. I will be the first to buy the set. Chef Scott Staib
and Mr. Len Staib are also great teachers. They treated my
students with dignity and professionalism, exposed them to
another facet of the food service industry and inspired my
students to think outside of the box."

Dear Scott Staib:
"Hello, I Just wanted to drop you some feedback regarding the
Ergo Chef knife. This is really a precision instrument! With
cooking just being a hobby, I was a little skeptical with using
a chef's knife for all of my kitchen needs. From the first time
I used it, I was amazed! I was never able to get a thin slice on
veggies and dicing always took too long, but this knife really
made everything easy. It is perfectly weighted, and has the feel
of a smaller knife. I found it much easier to use than a pairing
knife or utility knife. The design of this knife is impeccable
and the construction is bulletproof! This knife is a real
winner. It really deserves to be in every kitchen! I wish you
lots of luck and I hope word spreads of how fantastic this knife
really is. Thanks for coming up with such a great design and
such tasteful craftsmanship. Good luck with Ergo Chef!"
Sincerely,
Tom Olejniczak |

 "I recently had the opportunity to spend a day with the Ergo
Chef 8" chef knife and fell in love all over again! I am a
second year student at the Culinary Institute of America and for
the past year, have used nothing but Wusthof knives. The Ergo
Chef knife fit perfectly in my hand like it was custom made for
me. As far as I'm concerned, it has the perfect tip, blade,
weight and balance, and a handle design that only speaks for
itself! I'm looking forward to a long career with Ergo Chef."

The Ergo Chef Chef’s knife is one of the finest knives I have
had the pleasure of using. It is comfortable and balanced
and a joy to use in the kitchen. Its size and ability to hold an
edge makes short work of whatever you task it with. I 100%
satisfied and impressed with your product and put Ergo Chef on
the same level as Henckel or Sabatier.

I have never used a more balanced and finely crafted piece of
cutlery as this. For years, I have been using Henckels and
now I am seriously considering replacing these with a block of
Ergo chef knives. Excellent product, well made, and a pleasure
to use.

I recently purchased a set of Ergo knives after seeing them
being demonstrated at a show. I am not a chef, but someone who
just likes to cook. I will say that this is one of the best
purchases I have made in a long time. It has been a pleasure to
slice, dice and anything else one does with a knife. They are
comfortable in the hand and make any job a breeze. If any one is
reading this testimonial has any doubts about purchasing these
knives, don't hesitate.
I have never written a testimonial for any product but, these
knives are worth every penny and then some.
Sincerely,
Arleen Puglissi |

Just wanted to drop you a line and mention that this is the
nicest chef's knife my wife or I have ever seen. For example, I
have my old Mundial sitting two slots down from the Ergo Chef...
it rarely comes out of the block any more since we got your
knife. It's great, my wife loves the natural rocking motion it
encourages, and I love the abbreviated bolster for steeling and
sharpening. The one thing that upsets me about other chef knives
is the bolster -- I have to grind that thing down with my bench
grinder after a few years so that it sharpens properly. Your
knife was truly an outrageously good purchase, and I hope you
sell a zillion of them. |
Thanks for the excellent service.

Hi Ergo Chef,
Several weeks ago you I bought a 7" Santoku knife from you. I
just wanted to tell you that the knife is fabulous, and is now
one of my favorite kitchen tools.
Best regards,

I have been a chef for about twenty years now. I recently tried
your 8” Chefs knife. An employee of ours picked one up at the
New York Art Institute. I must say I am very impressed with the
ergonomic design and balance, makes using it almost effortless.

I absolutely LOVE the Ergo Chef 8 in. chef knife! I have been
using it for a couple of months here and it's so beautifully
balanced it feels like an extension of my hand. The blade holds
its edge, too!

soon? The largest I saw on your website is 8 inches.

Just a note to let you know how much we enjoy our Ergo 6" Chef's
knife!
We have bought many knives from other companies and have yet to
find one as reliable as yours. The weight/balance and feel of
the handle makes it easy to slice and dice! We will definitely
purchase more of your line to replace some useless knives in our
collection!

Hello Ergo Chef,
I own a catering business and work a full time job with another
caterer, so many weeks I work far more than forty hours and my
wrists have been giving me trouble for the past few months and
sometimes I can barely cut through a carrot by the end of a long
day. Recently my doctor has diagnosed me with carpal tunnel
syndrome. I had purchased your 8" Chefs’ knife on a whim from
Lou at Knife Pro here in Massachusetts. My wrists have felt so
good using this knife. I was pleasantly surprised how much this
knife has helped with the ache. It’s also a really good knife; I
prefer it over my others in my tool box.
Thank You Ergo Chef!

Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know I LOVE MY NEW 6”
CHEF KNIFE and it has replaced my former knife in the block. I
think I can get rid of the Santoku knife now. This one has a
much smoother flow!
