Chef PAK® Teams Up With Dexter® To Provide The Ultimate Culinary School Knife Kit

Vigor, LLC, an independent company that offers culinary accessories for the restaurant and hospitality industry, is pleased to announce the availability of the Dexter®/Chef Pak® Knife Kit for culinary school students.

New York, NY (I-Newswire) April 12, 2011 - Chef Pak® has been one of the hottest new items in the culinary industry since it’s launch in April of 2010. The Chef Pak® is designed to accommodate the specific needs of a culinary student: it’s a sporty backpack that includes a customized knife case portfolio that fits firmly in the back pocket. The knife case holds up to 13 knives/tools and is made of a durable, heavy-duty material to ensure the wearer’s safety. Both professional chefs and culinary students have raved about the ability of Chef Pak® to carry all of their gear and hold up to the wear and tear of the kitchen.

Now, the product that has taken the culinary industry by storm has teamed up with the largest manufacturer of professional cutlery in the United States, Dexter-Russell, to create the ultimate culinary school knife kit.

The 16-piece culinary knife kit includes the Chef Pak® and the NSF certified I-Cut™ Pro series from Dexter®, a nine-piece knife set that provides contemporary styling and forged German stainless steel. The superior blade shape and unique edge geometry is designed for a long lasting and easily re-sharpened edge. Each knife has a soft ergonomic grip, made of Santoprene®, that provides comfort for extended use and is easily washable. The kit also includes a 6-piece knife guard set for added protection.

“We searched extensively for a knife set that would complement our product and meet our goal of providing top-quality, economical products for our customers,” said Tim Campbell, partner and chief executive officer for the company. “We are extremely proud to combine the Dexter I-Cut™ Pro collection with our Chef Pak®.”

“Students deserve to learn their craft utilizing top quality knives and equipment,” said Chef David Feimster, partner and chief culinary officer for the company. “The forged I-Cut™ Pro series is superior to many of the knife sets currently available to students and we offer it for the same, affordable price.”
