Meet Ed Hamlin
Hi, I'm Ed Hamlin. I love to cook, and I've always had a habit of looking at the tools around me and asking how they could work better. That same problem-solving instinct has led me to develop several patented cooking products and, eventually, The Chef's Grip.
The Chef's Grip started with a problem I felt firsthand. During long sessions of chopping and cutting, the top of a chef's knife would dig painfully into my hand. I looked for something that would solve it and couldn't find what I wanted, so I began developing my own solution. Working with professional chef Lance Toro, we spent more than two years refining the original Chef's Grip.
That idea has continued to evolve into the Chef's Grip knife you see today: a kitchen tool designed around comfort, control and the way cooks actually use a knife. Whether you're preparing dinner at home or spending hours in a professional kitchen, my goal is simple - make the work more comfortable so you can focus on the food.
