Amid all of the recent cooking at home, upgraded kitchen equipment has become an especially welcome commodity,\u00a0and no tool eases food preparation more than an exquisite knife. \u201cA high-quality, handcrafted knife is razor sharp,\u00a0balanced, comfortable to use, and easy to sharpen,\u201d says Kirsten Dressler Wilson<\/a>, vice president of the Ojai-based
\nMessermeister<\/strong> (messermeister.com<\/a>) cutlery company. \u201cIt makes it so much easier to chop ingredients fast. The first\u00a0time you use a great knife, you finally realize how bad your old knives really were.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson, who runs the family-owned business with her sister Chelcea Dressler-Crowley<\/a> and their mother Debra\u00a0Dressler<\/a>, should know. Her father, a German native, brought his passion for the premium, hand-forged cutlery of his\u00a0homeland to the U.S. in 1981 and established the Messermeister (translation: knife master) line in 1985. Four decades
\nlater, the brand encompasses a wide array of professional-quality chef knives, kitchen cutlery, and cooking tools, all of\u00a0which can be purchased online and at selected retailers.<\/p>\n
