Daniel D. Friel, Sr. founded the EdgeCraft Corporation in 1984. How he built an enterprise, that in only a few short years has become the world leader in cutting edge technology, is a true American success story. As he neared the end of his 40-year career with the DuPont Company, Friel inventoried his skills. Born in 1920, he had worked as a scientist, development engineer and manager of many diverse businesses. He had done research in a variety of areas including physics, chemistry, optics, electronics and even gravity. He garnered numerous patents for development of sophisticated instruments.
Always enthralled by knife sharpening, Friel included in his list the invention of a truly effective electric knife sharpener that would work on a wide variety of knives, particularly, fine quality gourmet knives. He rescued a 20-year-old set of Gerber knives from a closet. They were a present from his wife June, and to his great frustration, he had never been able to put a satisfactory edge on them.
With fierce determination and a personal deadline of three years to show himself adequate progress on the project, Friel set to work in a basement laboratory and then sought the assistance of other professionals. "They were the nucleus of the EdgeCraft team," recalls Friel. He created thirteen prototypes before he came up with one that satisfied him. Soon after its introduction, the Chef'sChoice Diamond Hone Sharpener earned the acclaim of food experts and chefs worldwide, including Pierre Franey, Jacques Pépin and the late Craig Claiborne.
Friel compares the day he left DuPont to follow his second career to the day he walked away from Johns Hopkins University after earning a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering."Unlike the day I left Johns Hopkins, when I left DuPont I could proceed with the knowledge and confidence gained from some 40 years of hands-on experience," Friel recalls. "I saw a need and I had the confidence that I could deliver." More on Chef's Choice...

Comments about Chef's Choice International Deluxe Cordless Electric Teakettle:
I boil water for tea off and on all day.
It is safe to use and I like that the water doesn't touch the heating implement.

Comments about Chef's Choice International Deluxe Cordless Electric Teakettle:
I got rid of my microwave years ago for health and environment considerations. This tea kettle
is a mainstay in my kitchen. I used one vigorously multiple times a day for eight years.
During my kitchen remodel it was essential in my makeshift kitchen in the garden. Eventually, when the handle got loose (pot still works great)
I bought a new kettle immediately.
Friends notice it when I use it and want one too.
I love this product. And it's a great gift.

Comments about Chef's Choice International Deluxe Cordless Electric Teakettle:
I love that you can take your hot water with you anywhere there is a plug. This one is a little noisier than the previous model but that just reminds me that I intended to make a cup of tea.

Comments about Chef's Choice International Deluxe Cordless Electric Teakettle:
I fully recommend this product. We have just returned from Ireland and everyone there uses an electric kettle. This is what prompted me to go shopping for my own. I am thrilled with this kettle, both the look and the function are exactly what I was looking for!!!
