We at GreekForMe would like to expose our fraternity and sorority readers to some sites that sell merchandise and services that our
Greek Fraternity and Sorority readers may find useful. One of these featured websites is called
Chef Knives To Go and as the title
suggests, they sell all things related to
kitchen knives,
knife sharpeners,
cutting boards and
knife blocks. Mark
Richmond started the business back in 2000 and has seen the business change dramatically over the past 5 years.
“The rise of the food network” has really transformed the kitchenware market in a positive way. People are much more educated about cutlery and we have seen a huge increase of interest
in quality forged knives from German Knife manufacturers like
Wusthof,
Henckels and
Messermeister as
well as keen interest from lesser known
Japanese Knives such as
Global Knives,
Shun Knives,
MAC Knives,
Chroma knives and
Kasumi Knives.” Mark says.
“Many college students don’t buy quality kitchen knives once they head off to school because of cost. This
is unfortunate. I always tell young people it is better to buy 1 good knife,
perhaps an 8”
chef
knife from a quality company that will quite possibly last 20-30 years rather
than a 40 pc set that you see on an infomercial that you will end up throwing
away in a couple years. In the cutlery business you really do get what you pay
for.”
