Simply Unbelievable
The last set of knives I got, I received as a gift and I was ecstastic! A set of J.A. Henckels that was supposed to last me a lifetime......yeah, right. That was 10 years ago and the set as long since been gone. I have been working the only knife from that set that I have left... my chef's knife, which as a chipped blade and broken handle. When a friend of my husbands started selling Cutco cutlery, he agreed to have him come over and show us the knives... HE HAD ME AT HELLO. When I was able to hold the knife and cut through leather, rope, and other things I've never been able to cut with any of my knives, like it was warm butter, I knew I had to have these knives. Spending what I spent on these knives was a little more than I ever thought I would.. but just like they are named, it is essential for my kitchen to have these knives as a headliner. I will recommend these knives to anyone and everyone. I can't wait to own more!!!

OH MY GOD!!!
Oh my god!!! I cant believe it...I bought my essentials set when I was 18 and guess what I'm going to be 35 and still have it and use it everyday. I have never gotten it sharpened. Now, that I know Cutco is still around Im definitely looking into more pieces.

VERY GOOD PURCHASE
I USE MY ESSENTIALS SET EVERY DAY. THE KNIVES ARE EXTREMELY SHARP. THE SPATULA SPREADER IS GREAT AND SHARP, GOOD FOR BAGELS AND ENGLISH MUFFINS. I HAVE THE PEARL HANDLES. I LIKE THE LOOK AND THEY FIT IN YOUR HAND PERFECTLY. THEY MAY SEEM LIKE THEY ARE EXPENSIVE BUT THEY ARE WELL WORTH IT. VERY GOOD QUALITY PRODUCT.

An Absolute Must Have
I got this set 15 years ago and they are still like new.
When I got divorced 14 years ago, I made sure I got them in the settlement. My kitchen would be useless without them! I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!

Sharp after all this time
I have owned these for over 15 years, they are just as sharp as the day I bought them. I sold them after high school for a summer and they are one of the best investments I have made. They are well worth the money.

Most Dependable Knives
We started with this basic set in 1978,from a college student. Used every one-especially the trimmer -it was handy for everything. Got the steak set in 1983, from another student rep. Fast forward to 2008, many relocations later, replaced one steak knife and got them all sharpened, finally. And treated myself to the carver,and petite chef, too! These knives are durable and reliable.Love 'em!

Wouldn't be without them
I accepted a presentation of these knives as a favor to a friend's son. WOW! I bought them in a heart beat and rave about them to everyone. My sister has them too and we love to tell the world. The sharpness, the heft of the knife, everything is wonderful. I also own the steak knives and we wouldn't give them up either. Thank you Cutco!

Solid products from the U.S.
I own many knives from Cutco and I am very pleased with the performance for over 10 years.
I have also purcashed many knives for gifts.
The service of free of charge on sharpening knives is great.
I would suggest the products to all my friends.

Amazing!
I used to be a Cutco rep the summer after highschool, I was impressed by the product and the amazing guarantee. I have known others, both friends and family, that at one time sold Cutco. I also know friends and family that own Cutco. Now it is ten years later, I am married and looking to start a family, the knives that I sold my parents are still perfect and have never needed sharpening after ten years. A friend of the family called me the other day asking to do a presentation on these knives (he did not mention the company, but as soon as he asked I knew they were Cutco knives), I of course agreed and the next day he was at my house practicing his presentation. Long story short I purchased this set, since being introduced to Cutco I have dreamed of owning it, although it does require a bit of an investment. In the end I think that it says something when someone who has sold the product will enthusiastically purchase it ten years later. I can't say enough about these knives. If you are in the market for a quality knife and are willing to pay in order to never need to buy another knife again then this is it. I wasn't even in the market for good knives but when opportunity knocked I jumped. Get these knives!
