I inherited mine from my grandma, I recall them being gifted to her around 2004, so about 20 years in use. I’m sending a few off for sharpening for what I believe to be the first time. I likely would t buy myself based on the cost, but quality set imo.

Excellent video. We own three petite carvers, six steak, a chef knife, scissors, paring knife, santoku trimmer. Just turned in a steak knife today and they are replacing it with a new one for nine dollars shipping. We once had a scissors come apart (my mother in law used it in the roughest sort of ways) and they replaced it--and those scissors are expensive. I love Cutco. We are lucky to have an actual Cutco retail store in our city. They sharpen for free. However, it is important to note that serrated knives must be shipped to the factory in New York state in order to be sharpened. No big deal.

We bought our firs Cutco knives 12 years ago when we got married, and we love them. I just requested a sharpener service for the first time. Hope we get them back safely!

I have a small set of Cutco knives. What i like is the hilt. I have fairly large hands. The full tang and long length fits my hand better than just about every other knife I've ever used. The hilt of the paring knife is just as long as a chef's knife unlike most paring knives which are tiny. The scissor is very heavy use durable. I use it to cut apart a chicken or turkey carcass to make stock with. They work brilliantly for that. You don't have to buy everything. The 8" Chef's Knife, 7" Santoku, Paring Knife, Boning Knife, 3 tine Turning Fork, and Scissors will do everything you ever need to do with food preparation. Just getting those goes a long way to mitigating the cost aspect of Cutco. Years later I did get the Cutco wall rack for my knives. It holds all the knives and fork. It's really useful to have that easily accessible storage. It doesn't take up any counter space like the block rack does too.

I have had my Cutco knives for 30 years… and LOVE them ! As a wedding gift we got a beautiful Henckle set, that dulled so quickly… I vowed not to spend a lot of money on a knife again, until, a kid came and showed me the knives he was selling to help get through college.. so I bought 2 basic knives. After using them for a few years… and since the internet is so easy to make purchases, I buy them now for, Shower gifts for my daughter’s and their friends, as gifts for the girls i work with at Christmas and anytime I want a really great gift, I give a beautiful Cutco knife AND scissors.
I know they are expensive, EVERYTHING is. They are made in America ! AND perform BEAUTIFULLY! Just buy 1 or 2 … you will NOT regret it!
And I am also one of the random customers… who go to the Costco booth and tell strangers, how much I LOVE my Cutco knives!!❤️🎄💚

My parents have these knifes they have had them for just about 20 years it’s crazy how they are still like new after having 5 kids in the house! I will definitely buy once I get my own place.

Good video. I acquired one at a thrift store recently from the glass counter at checkout for under $5 new with original cardboard blade cover. Had no idea how sharp and satisfied I am with this exquisite knife.

I have my moms set of Cutco knives which she bought in the 80's. Even though they needed sharpening they were still my best knife in the house. I just sent them back to the factory they replaced 8 out of the 12 I sent for various reasons . And sharpened the others ! I love love love my Cutco Knives

I have had my Cutco for almost 50 years and they are still sharp. They are awesome

I got mine over 40 years ago and have used them consistently and continually for that whole time. I am also one of those people who walks up to the Costco display and shares my story and my enjoyment of the knives. Especially if there is someone there thinking about them. I've sent mine in for sharpening twice in 40 years. I have a friend who had a very high end set of Culinary knives he bought for school (the ones they recommend) he and I compared them to the Cutcos I have (which at the time were 30 years old) and my knives out performed his on every test.

Just came across this video- we have had our Cutco for ~15 years - they stand behind their product we have had the ice cream scoop replaced 2x for example. Free sharpening- worth the shipping. We now live 12 hours away from where we purchased them, when we are in the area we work it into the trip to drop them off to be sharpened. We have paid for shipping, but still worth it. Yes they are a shit ton of money, but considering I won’t have to buy another knife, worth it to me. Yea they are not the most attractive, but I’m tough on everything. Very happy with them. The company is good to work with. ( Yes we also bought ours from a 19 year old college kid) I feel they are worth the investment.

Worth every penny - customer service is excellent, knives are durable, it lasts!

[ldcrumley]

They are expensive but they will outlast the original owner. They are the best household knives available. They are not for professionals - chefs or anyone who makes their living using them. Best way to buy them is used. You still get the same lifetime guarantee as if you bought them new. I’ve purchased them at estate sales, garage sales, and eBay.
The best wedding gift is a set of these knives. They will outlast the marriage. Not matter what.

I have a Chicago Cutlery knife set I’ve had for 30 years. It was about $100 dollars with the knife block. The paring knife handle broke after 25 years, they sent me a new one free of charge. Look around, other knives have similar warranties and build quality for much less.

I inherited a set f steak knives from my mom that are at least 30 yrs old and they are better than any steak knives I have ever owned. I do own primarily Wusthof knives but I also have a cutco cheese knife and Santuku and they are fantastic! I would say buy what feels comfortable and take care of them.. no dishwasher and properly sharpen them and they can last a lifetime

[markharder]

Some important questions: (1) Are the blades stamped or forged?, The latter are tougher. (2) What are the alloying metal compositions of the knives? 'High carbon stainless' will not do. A specification codes for the chromium, molybdenum, etc. alloy percentages. (3) What is the Rockwell hardness of the blade? Harder blade will take a finer sharpness. Medium hardness will retain its hardness longer. These specs are available on the blade or on the sites for German blades like Wusthof, Henkels, and many Japanese blades.

Highly recommend, after using cheap knives all my life I was seduced by the life time warranty and excellent quality.
I send my 5 knives to get sharpened, they replace 3 ( two of them had a broken tip) I don’t mind paying for shipping it was less than $30 usd it took 2 weeks from Ca to NY I missed my knives but it was worth it 100% !
Love CUTCO.

[mikemacinnes]

Awesome video I just bought a set at trade show. 100% right pricey but I love them and am like how did we live without them. You get what you pay for! If you can afford them definitely buy. If you are on budget buy small chopper ($150) range can cut almost everything with it. I paid little over 1500 for my set with 2 filet knifes

[jayceejr]

Just ordered my knife block set with sharpener and cutting board. I REALLY want the wok/roast pan set they have. I also didn't know they are the makers of Kabar knives. Cutco's catalogue is amazing.

[chrisgleason]

I've had a set for nearly 20 years. No complaints. Sharpening round trip is 2-3 weeks. Knife breaks? It's replaced. Knife has been sharpened so much it's now a thin nub? Replaced. No cost beyond the shipping fee. If you can afford them, they're worth the money. It really is a one-time significant outlay for decades of good use with no major outlays following.
