I have noticed that no one has mentioned anything about the sles of cutco knives, or its history. So it's very difficult to get a true opinion if you are reading a post from some "kid" who didn't want to work, and people who claim they know everything they know about knives.
I'll start by helping some of you out with the product.
Cutco makes two types of edges;
One is a staight edge knife. They have a few because straight edges because they are used for chopping, dicing, and peeling. The problem with straight edges are they rub on hard surfaces like cutting boards, and countertops, so they get dull fairly quickly.
The second is the Double D edge, which is built with a series of three STRAIGHT edges that cut in different directions. The points are designed from preventing the edges from touching the counter, preventing it from dulling. They cut just like a straight edge forwards and backwards, except because the edges don't touch the surface, they don't chop or dice.
Straight edge knives, no matter which compnay, all get dull when you rub it along a surface. Tehy can stay sharp for a long time once they are only hitting it not rubbing along it. Thats why knives like a paring knife which is supposed to be used in the air usually stays sharp a while. Chef knives if used properly are supposed to be used on the board to chop, nict slice. They can also stay sharp a long time. Carving knives must go back and forth, so do bread knives. Thats why they get dull. So cutcos double d edge does the slicing jobs well.
If you ever hear someone saying their cutco knife they bought is dull it's because of one main reason. That person only has straight edges, so because the sales rep told them cutco stays sharp for a long time, they think that means the straight edges and unfortunately they will be dissapointed with it.
Lets be honest, a new rep can easily make the mistake of not explaining to the customer the difference between the two. However, once customers understand the differences, they will be really happy with them, because 90% of people don't know how to use knives properly.
So just remember, straight edges for chopping, dicing, and peeling. Double D edges for slicing and carving only!
