Guy Fieri Ergo Chef Knives Review and #giveaway

December 27, 2009 By Momstart 1,134 Comments

The Food Network’s Guy Fieri has quite the TV personality. He was one of the very first winners of The Next Food Network Star and he managed to actually become one. With his well known name now he’s got his own line of products and I mentioned his knives in my Food Network Holiday Gift Guide. Ergo Chef sent me a set of their knives to use and my husband really enjoys using them.

I used to sell knives, can you believe that? I lasted one week as a door to door sales woman. My shortest career ever so I know what’s good about a knife and what’s not. For one thing, you do not want a wooden knife, they hold germs and the wood can deteriorate. These knives are made of high carbon German Stainless Steel, they are not dishwasher safe but most knifes aren’t. The blade goes the entire length of the knife making it very strong and durable.

Product Description:

• The blades are precision heat treated to 56RC to keep a great edge
• Patented ergonomic design is created to be an extension of your hand for natural comfort
• Made of high carbon German stainless steel (X50CrMoV15) for stain resistance
• Full tang and abbreviated bolster adds strength and balance
• Hollow ground ovals in blade promote less stick and smoother cut

I’m a Hot Rod guy who knows that in order to do car-building right, you need high quality performance parts. The same idea applies to cooking, so the right knives are key. My product features a combination of the best materials with a design that will blow your mind!
As a chef, restaurant owner, and TV personality, I have high expectations for my equipment and these knives meet and exceed all of them. I’d like to thank everyone who brought these knives to reality.

The Chef Knife:

The chef knife’s 8 inch blade is great for cutting veggies, I used it on potatoes the other day for corn chowder. It’s also meant for fruits and meats. It features a crisscross knurl on the end of the blade to pulverize garlic and nuts.

The Utility Dragon Dagger:

The Dragon Dagger’s 5 and 1/2 inch blade is great for cutting bread and sandwiches. It cuts a mean peanut butter and Jelly if you ask my daughter’s opinion. We used it on home made bread, pizza dough and on sandwiches. It features a serrated edge and fork prongs on the tip to pick up food with. It’s super sharp making it great for cheese, veggies, and small fruits.

I have found that both of these knives are very manly. They are red and black and decorated with flames. I’d prefer pink and flowers but if you want to get your man in the kitchen flowers aren’t going to do it are they? Both of the knives come with a blade guard for storage.

Ergo Chef has offered to give one set of these knives to a lucky Mom Start Reader.
