Re: Ask me about going into people\'s homes to sell them knives.
Ed,
Would you like to go toe to toe on features and benefits of Cutco vs. other knives? 10k cutco fight, yo? You seriously don't know what you are talking about. Aside from the fact that all knives have stamped blades. The "forging" is how they affix the bolster, handle, and blade together.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I totally believed in CUTCO cutlery. We used to say it is the Rolls Royce of cutlery and that is spot on. Anybody who has ever used them will tell you the same thing. [/ QUOTE ] Do you really believe this? [/ QUOTE ] Yes. [/ QUOTE ] According to Wiki Cutco is typically not used by professional chefs, why would that be? [/ QUOTE ] I have no idea. [/ QUOTE ] Maybe professional chefs prefer to use knives that require more frequent sharpening but get some other positive qualities in return. I doubt high durability is much of an important factor in professional chef knife selection.

Re: Ask me about going into people\'s homes to sell them knives.
Why is the Cutco site so reluctant to say what materials the handle and blade are made from? Usually that means inferior quality.

Blades are 440A steel while the handles are made of "thermoresin" basically plastic. But as you know motorcycle helmets are plastic and so are McDonalds toys are as well. Neither here nor there.

[/ QUOTE ] If you just want to know what they are made of, the wiki states: "The blade is a high carbon stainless steel, type 440A instead of 154CM or ATS-34" "Handles are made of Celcon (r), an acetal copolymer injection-molded thermoplastic and are fastened to the blades using Nickel-Silver rivets which expand and contract less than the standard brass rivets used in most knives.

Re: Ask me about going into people\'s homes to sell them knives.
Anyway, this thread was not intended for me to defend the company or the product. I haven't been affiliated with Vector since the summer of 2001 so I could not care less. I thought I could share some interesting stories:
During my first summer I went to a woman's house and she asked me where I went to college. I said JMU and she said that her daughter was about to start her freshman year there and said she'd probably like to meet me. So the woman called her daughter to come downstairs and while she was doing that I took the knives out of my bag to place them on the table. Unfortunately the paring knife fell out of the roll it had been in and landed in the palm of my hand and severed a nerve and punctured an artery. These things are SHARP. The woman's husband and JMU-bound daughter drove me to emergency care and I got stitches and then surgery a few days later. While I was running an interview when I was branch manager (right before my senior year at JMU) I had a college student use one of our competitor's knives that I kept in the interview desk for comparison purposes. He was cutting a piece of rope with it and his hand slipped and the knife cut my finger badly and I again needed stitches. However I was able to conduct the rest of the 90-minute interview with paper towels wrapped around my fingers. The kid that cut me was offered the job (he was a bright kid). I had sex in my office once but not with a sales rep or a receptionist.
