Anamouse says "Not as good as the price suggests they should be" about Cutco Knives

Anamouse — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:11:51 GMT

Cutco knives are more hype and less value than any other knife line I know of. They cost as much as professional quality cutlery and are not professional quality knives.

I collect cutlery and own pieces of most vintage and modern manufactures inlcuding Cutco's large chef's knife, 1725 and their slicer , 1724. Neither do anything that much less expensive knives don't do just as well or better.

They are well suited for the average wife, and may even impress her if she's never owned or used professional quality knives, but anyone who has and regularly sharpens their own knives, will quickly come to the conclusion that they are nothing special.

Most people's kitchen knives are hardly sharp, they usually don't sharpen them at all, and if they do they probably use something other than decent sharpening stones so the result isn't very good. Those people will be impressed by any new sharp knife, and Cutco knives come with a reasonable factory edge and can washed in the dishwasher, which...

MeganMueller says "The Finest Set of Cutlery you can get!" about Cutco Knives

MeganMueller — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 22:21:13 GMT

Cutco Cutlery is the best investment you could ever make. These knives are made with the finest materials you can get for kitchen cutlery. They have full tang thermo resin handles, with nickel silver rivets, Carbon Steel blades, and have the AMAZING Double-D edge that can stay sharp for up to 7-10 years. They stand behind their product with an amazing gaurantee that gaurantees them for LIFE. My mom has had these knives for over 40 years and always says she has never regretted her purchase. They make the best gifts for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries... anything. Even if the person who's recieving the gift hasn't heard of Cutco they will want to know more about it after they use it. The price is definitely more expensive than your regular knives from a department store, however Cutco wouldn't make a cheap product and then gaurantee it for life. In this case the value definitely always exceeds the price.

I have been using Cutco knives for years with no problem. They are easy to maintain, the straight blades remain sharp as long as you use the sharpener regularly. They are also made in the USA.

Most of the previous reviews speak for the knives pretty well.

sixxty3vette says "have used cutco since my brother sold it when i was 5" about Cutco Knives

sixxty3vette — Thu, 14 May 2009 09:05:04 GMT

my oldest brother sold cutco when i was 5 and what i remember most about this time was watching 2 of my other brothers (i have 6 of them) sit and cut pennies with the cutco scissors my mother bought. that was 40 years ago (i dont know how since im only 22 lol) and the pair of scissors used to cut that money is the pair my mom uses today. since the scissors come apart they are perfect for curling ribbon on gifts and since my mom has 9 kids and a gazillion grandkids and friends those scissors have curled miles and miles of ribbons..and they still cut coins with no problem. i grew up using all the cutco knives and cooking utensils my mom had purchased and 12 years ago my friend at work said she wanted to show me a new product she was selling and showed up at my house with cutco. i laughed and bought myself a set and i also purchased the scissors i love so much and they are sitting right here as i type this. while my knives are the sharpest tools in my house my husband on the other hand...

LeighBroten says "Cutco Knives" about Cutco Knives

LeighBroten — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 23:15:18 GMT

I am 45, an avid home canner and cook. I like nice cookware, Italian made stainless and copper, old time cast iron and enamel ware. I can everything from meats to soups to vegetables and fish,, if its been canned in the last 100 years, I try it. So,, with that being said, I am into the best of the best!

I first saw Cutco at the county fair this last summer. I thought it was just a gimmick and I didn't buy it. I came home and started getting online to research it. I went to the website. I went to review sites. I ran back to the fairgrounds and picked up the cheese knife, the santuko or however you spell that, a paring knife and a steak knife. Amazing stuff!

I've bought knives in knife stores, butcher shops, at Macy's,, all the very best knives that are available. Nothing stayed sharp. My old hickory is easy to sharpen, but everything else gets dull fast. If I were a professional chef and was able to sharpen my knives everyday, perhaps I would...

ldwhiting says "Cutco Knives represent American family dinner time." about Cutco Knives

ldwhiting — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 14:32:58 GMT

I enjoy using my cutco knives for many reasons. First the sharp blades. I cut through anything with little to no force! I also enjoy the comfortable handles. The cutco knives are light weight and easy to use. They are durable and have the best guarantee around! The only con I can find wrong with the knives are they are not dishwasher safe. Another negative point is they are expensive to buy. But on the plus side, if someone can afford them, and don't mind hand washing them, I feel cutco is the knife for them! Cutco represents the American dinner time by bringing families back together again at the dinner table....

MrsJoshP says "Cutco is the best knives money can buy!!! using them since '91" about Cutco Knives

MrsJoshP — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 09:13:14 GMT

My mom first bought a set back in 1991. Since then I've worked as a prep cook in a kitchen and even the knives available at work weren't as good as a 13 year old set of Cutco Knives. I have never used a better set of knives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Their guarantee can be passed down from generation to generation.... my mom bought a set it's guaranteed, if she gave it to me, I'd have the same lifetime guarantee...and so on....you'll never find a better quality knife,customer service,or guarantee out there...

bussete1 says "Cutco lasts a long time." about Cutco Knives

bussete1 — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 03:27:19 GMT

I grew up with a set of Cutco in the house and wanted a set when I got married. I got a set, and my friends all got other various brands. Mine are still as sharp as the day I got them, seven years later, and all my friends have had to buy at least one new set since.

I liked the "sales pitch" because they taught me how to use the knives like a chef. I also like the fact that you can get them sharpened, even the serrated ones, if you need to. It really impressed me that the knives haven't changed since the 70's, when my mother bought her set. They still look and feel the same. The blades are carbonized steel, so it's like cutting with a diamond.

When I bought my set, my parents sent thier knives in to get them sharpened and polished. They were able to send in the entire set for a flat fee of $5, it didn't matter how many knives they sent in. When they came back, they were beautiful.

ashley4905 says "cutco knives make a great gift for any family" about Cutco Knives

ashley4905 — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 14:49:33 GMT

cutco knives have been an essential part of my kitchen. I love the wooden handles and they are easy to grip and very comfortable when using. This comes in very handy when I am tacklling all the needs of my husband, two children, and cooking all at the same time. They also sharpen very nicely when i have dwindled down the blades from extended use. cutco knives are very durable and wash well in the dishwasher. I would recommend these to anyone who enjoys cooking. Even if I had to purchase more knives, I would go with this same exact brand. I love using them soo much....

MissBirdy says "Pricey--but amazing!" about Cutco Knives

MissBirdy — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 03:15:12 GMT

My husband and I got two Cutco serated knives for Christmas--they are seriously NICE. I always was wary of Cutco, since they seem to employ every highschool student in the country to harass you into buying their knives, but they have a really solid product. The knives are really sharp (I've cut my hands a few times, so watch out!) and easy to clean.

GatorAng says "Nothing better in my kitchen than my Cutco knives." about Cutco Knives

GatorAng — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 22:27:27 GMT

I have enjoyed a small set of Cutco knives for the past ten or more years. They are just as sharp today as the day I bought them! Yes, they are expensive, but extremely comfortable in the hand and well balanced. I especially love the vegetable peeler because it doesn't require a tight grip to use thus enabling me to peel potatoes easily and without my fingers and hand falling asleep (I have carpel tunnel). I enjoy the spatula spreader as well because it can be used for spreading butter or cutting through bagels. It is also child friendly (with supervision) as it has a rounded end and is not intimidating to use. Slicing fresh bread with the large slicer is a dream as it cuts evenly and cleanly....

NorthernLady says "I've been using Cutco Knives for about 30 years." about Cutco Knives

NorthernLady — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 00:53:10 GMT

Cutco stands behind their claim that they will sharpen any of their knives anytime. I have 1 knife that is over 30 years old and just recently had it sharpened. I've never had any other knives that withstand the use of CutCo....
