Cutco Knives

My favorite kitchen "gadget" is my knives. My husband was a Cutco salesman for about a month way before I met him. It was long enough for him to amass a collection of some of their best knives for his demonstrations but not really use them. Hooray for me! Cutco knives are the best. They never need sharpening, they're lifetime guaranteed so if they break or do need sharpening, you send them in and they fix them or send you new ones. My favorite is my chef knife (see right). I use it for EVERYthing-I often wash it several times during meal prep so I can use it on my meat and veggies because it chops everything well, cuts through everything like butter, including tomatoes. My Mom has a whole set and says they're expensive (one more reason I was thrilled to "inherit" them!) but she gives them to my brothers one by one for Christmas to make it more affordable! I give them 4.5 out of 5 because they're awesome but I will hate to ever send them in and not have them if I have to get them fixed!

My MIL has these and she says they are great! I hope to have them (not hers specifically) one day!

Wow, these would be GREAT to have. I had a friend in h.s. who sold these and did the demo for my Mom and kind of guilted her into buying one and it's really awesome. I remember in her demo she cut through a rope with the knife. That's quite a knife!
