History
Established in 2002.

He was on the fast track in foodservice when he was sidelined by tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome--a result of the repetitive motion injuries caused by frequent chopping and slicing. Without a fully-functioning wrist, Staib could not cook his dinner, let alone advance his career.

They worked closely with designers at the family's engineering company in New England to examine how a conventional knife fits in a chef's hand to developed a better Chef knife.
