Kwik-Kut Manufacturing produces quality, American-made kitchen goods. We have made our most popular product, the Tooth Edge Chopper, for over 80 years! We manufacture variations of this product as well as some custom made items. Our products can be found in hardware stores, kitchen shops, restaurant suppliers, and are also sold for fund-raising purposes.
I have used this chopper for years, and found I missed it when at my summer place and when camping, so I bought two more! It makes short work of chopping eggs for egg salad, and canned tuna and chicken as well. It works with vegetables, too, though it will cut irregular pieces. It does a great job on avocados for guacamole or avocado toast. Two caveats: it’s extremely sharp, so watch your fingers, don’t let young kids use it, and be careful to store it blade down. The second caveat: when washing, be aware that food can get stuck near the riveted handles. This is a handy kitchen tool.
Every now and then when I’m cooking I’ll have a flashback to a memory of a tool or gadget my Grandma used to use and I think “Man I wish I had hers!” And that’s where Amazon comes to the rescue! I was using a fork and knife to chop eggs for egg salad and was really wishing I had that metal hand chopper my grandma used to use when she made egg salad so I searched for “metal hand chopper” and a few days later this showed up to my house! It’s sturdy and almost exactly like I remember. Definitely chopped my eggs a lot better than my knife did! Everytime I use this, I get a sweet memory!

WHAT WE DO
Who We Are
In the early 1920's William and Dorothy Carter first started manufacturing the Food Chopper in their garage located in Ilion, NY. Originally marketed to non-profit organizations as a tool for fun raising, the Kwik-Kut Food Chopper soon became a household name in the Mohawk Valley.
​
The business moved into a full working factory in 1955, in 1966 John Fitzer acquired Kwik-Kut after retiring from Remington Arms. Over the next few decades Mr. Fitzer created new products, increased production, and achieved nationwide distribution.
​
In 1989 Kwik-Kut was purchased from John Fitzer by his daughter Mary Morse. As current owner / operator Mary has been able to continue Kwik-Kut's legacy while being a prominent member of the local business community. In 2011 Mrs. Morse was recognized by the State Senate as one of New York's "Women of Distinction", thanks to her efforts both in manufacturing and the local community.
​
The Kwik-Kut products are American Made by a group of dedicated employees at a production facility located in Mohawk, New York. We here at Kwik-Kut take great pride in manufacturing quality kitchen tools. We have a strong commitment to all of our employees, our community, and to fair business practices. Our policy is to sell to anyone, no order too big, no order too small!
