One reason Cutco does in-home selling is to force comparison between new Cutco knives and whatever knives people have on hand. Most people don't understand sharpening and have blunt knives, so the Cutco product will look good. Bose products are commonly sold in Bose-only stores or in special rooms of bigger stores.
2)Steel. Cutco claims they use the highest quality steel money can buy. They call it high carbon surgical grade steel. While this is subjective Cutco uses 440A grade steel while most top of the line knives (which is where Cutco is priced at) uses 440C, which is higher in carbon. 440C is more expensive to make, buy, and manufacture with.
For a little over a hundred dollars, CUTCO Petite Chef is worth the investment with forever sharpness and performance guarantee. CUTCO makes pastry spatulas, ice cream scoops, shears that can cut pennies and trimming knife that cuts paper-thin slices of tomatoes." - littleladychef [h3]Love this knife![/h3] Posted 9/9/10 By piautsey
All Cutco knives I have examined and used do not taper at all. The edge is ground on the blade, the handle put on, and that is it--no tapering thickness from the spine to the edge. Thus, the knife behaves like a wedge, with more energy being required to push the wedge through the food item, and rough surfaces on the food being cut.
Cutco seems to engender a lot of negative comments. I use in my kitchen Wusthoff and MAC knives but also have six Cutco serrated knives of various sizes that work for me. I understand that like-minded people are talking here to like-minded people. So the comments are similar. My grandfather was a butcher.

Hey, I sold quite a bit of Cutco knives for about 7 years (20+ years ago) and the warranty covers personal and professional use. Cooking is an art. I think trained chefs who have years of experience may have a sharpened sense of their ideals and preferences when it comes to the knives in their kitchen.
Chef's I need your honest opinion about CUTCO. sportsfan007; May 22, 2014; 23 ... Cooking Knife Reviews ...
The profiles (shape) that most J-knives have are going to feel a lot better than your current Cutco. The Cutco chefs knife profile is not good (in terms of usable length and usefulness of the tip, how your arm/elbow/shoulder may have to move to use parts of the knife). You may very well feel fine with something like a 240mm J-knife.
Right now I'm making do with... well, let's just say that my ten-year old cutco steak knife is probably the sharpest knife I own. Needless to say, this makes cooking something of a chore. Right now I am leaning towards buying several Warther knives (9" Chefs, 9" Carving Knife, 5" Sandwich Knife + Forschner Bread Knife)
