Cutco Knives Are A RIPOFF!!!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Vector Marketing, aka, Cutco, has a long history of unethical business practices and scam accusations. But when you take a moment to really look at their knives, you'll find that those are terrible too.

    I acquired my first Cutco knives in 1971… that’s 51 years ago!! I have been using them and adding to my kitchen knives since. I’ve sent them in to be sharpened for free and in some instances replaced at no cost when Cutco deemed the knife should be replaced instead of sharpened. I had a pair of Kitchen Shears that could no longer be returned to optimum performance replaced. I even sent in a paring knife that had lost its tip and it too was replaced. I have never had a problem with the handles and consider them to be well balanced. Are they expensive? Yes. But they are a lifetime investment. I have definitely found value in ownership. Besides while other knives are cheaper, you’ll end up throwing them away and buying new. I’d hate to think how much those cheaper knives would have ended up costing me after 51 years. So, yes, I am a fan of Cutco knives.

    I splurged on a 5 piece kitchen basics Cutco Set in the 1980's. It was my best investment. I make 14 quarts at a time of sauce from scratch throughout the year and it would take forever if I did not own this perfect set of knives. My hands and fingers are safe because of the well fitting handles. I've added to my set and enjoy every piece! I came across this KZread and couldn't believe the review. In our motorhome I have a post-it note of last minute packing items and 3 Cutco knives are a must, the cheese, paring & trimmer. My husband already has the fishing and filet knives in his tackle box, those I also need at times. I've used friend's knives in their kitchens and get frustrated, eventually gifting them with a basic, maybe a trimmer or the cheese knife. Interesting Cutco could be in business so long and still sell a coveted product to good cooks. It's been 12 years since I've sent them for sharpening, and so excited for their guaranteed service to return practically new knives. Might be my last send away as I'm in my mid 70's. But I'll still give as gifts!

    I've never seen a more poignant example of the Dunning-Kruger effect, you're so hilariously ignorant that you don't even understand how little you actually know. Firstly there's no such thing as a 'forger'. A forge or a blast furnace which is what actual blacksmiths use to bring steel up to temperature is something Cutco does not have, because all of their blades are stamped from 440A stainless sheets, only thin, soft, shitty steel can be stamped. Quality steel of appropriate stock thickness has to be laser or waterjet cut, drop forged or true forged. 440A is the cheapest stainless with the lowest carbon content that you can buy, until you get into 420 series restaurant supply store knives that are $5 a pop. There is no amount of heat cycling and cryo treatment that can be done to 440A to make it have anything more than dogshit edge retention, its sub 56 hrc with low carbon and high chromium, the only thing it has going for it is stain resistance. The handle is awfully designed for a proper pinch grip, the blades are hollow ground with no distal taper and way too shallow at the heel.

The handle is made of thermo resin, the handle is comfortable and I’ve had many customers say they love the handles. It’s also made to be dishwasher safe. The reason why it’s high valued it’s because of the forever guarantee. I’ve been treated very well at this job and I feel bad for people who have had bad experiences and I’m sure it’s part managers.

Also the size of it makes it near impossible to sharpen and get back to its original form without breaking it.

    My parents have a Cutco knife set sold to them by my brother's friend some 15 years ago. I liked them at the time if only because they were replacing a cheap set of WalMart knives my dad got in like the early 90's. They're WAY overpriced, but I guess technically better than literally the worst knife on the market (though not if you compare them dollar-for-dollar). Back in the summer after my freshman year of college I was having trouble finding a job and found a Vector marketing ad. I signed up and made it to like the second day of training when I could physically FEEL the soul draining from my body and never went back. Found a much more fulfilling job facilitating a day camp a week or so later.

Yes there are better knives out there but do you get the same customer service and warranty....NO! I have a full set and there is no buyers remorse. Dog on them all you want but people who buy these knives are not using them professionally.

    Ive owned a set for a couple years now, the pairing knife is honestly the best knife since its impossible to screw up a pairing knife. The mini nakiri clever is useless except for cutting sticks of butter. The chef knife is a little clunky but it gets the job done for small amounts of cutting however doesn't perform well for large amounts. Also all 3 handles are cracking in the same spot at the top even though I hand wash.....love the show love the knife look and price wished they performed or they made a more expensive knife that lived up to expectations. Anyway just thought you could make a cool video with some of the tests they do on the show like an apple slice or smashing giant bones!!!

I drop them all off once a year for sharpening (for free). When they get damaged or worn, they replace them for free.

    I actually work for Cutco right now. The reason why the blade is $152 is because you’re not just paying for a knife. You’re paying for a knife that’s literally FOREVER GUARANTEED. The handle won’t chip,break, or crack. However if it does you can always return it back & get a free one back. Not sure why you’re complaining about the knife for; if you didn’t like it then you had the option to return it & get your money back

    so I sold Cutco for like 2 months, 11 years ago, and I'm not gonna' argue anything in this video, really. Personally, I didn't see a problem with the way they sold their product. It ISN'T door-to-door, btw...it's a referral system. You start by calling friends and family, then at every demo you do, you have that person write down the names and numbers of anyone they know who might be interested...then you call those people and ask if you can schedule a demo. As for the demo itself...it's a no-pressure situation. The salesman does the demo, and that's it. If you aren't convinced by the demo, that's it. They don't put any pressure on you at all. It IS commission-based, and though a regular salesman is not tasked with recruiting more salesman...higher-ranking salesmen ARE sent to different areas for, say, a summer, and they recruit as many salesman as they can for that summer. The salesman can continue to work for them after that if they want...but mostly it's just a summer job for younger people (college students, mainly...so that part is true)...and there IS money to be made if you're good at it. During training AND during any demo...a lot of emphasis is placed on the materials the cutlery is made from...so that's not a fact they're trying to hide or in any way conceal. I got the impression they were proud of the materials they used, and that those materials were high-quality...and after using them for 11 years...both my parents full set, and the couple of knives I myself own...and using them daily...we still haven't needed to get them sharpened, and they work as well as they did when we first got them. Cutco also guarantees them forever...which means 100% free sharpening, repair, or replacement, and no proof of purchase of any kind is required. You send them knives they need sharpening...they send you back sharpened knives. You send them a damaged knife...they send you back a new one. Period. No hassle...nothing is required but the product, an envelope (or maybe a box), and some postage. And again...that guarantee is forever...whether you bought the product(s) yourself or not. As someone with a love for and skill with cooking, who lived with a successful professional chef for a few years...I'm definitely impressed by Cutco's products. There may be better out there (though there isn't a better guarantee than Cutco's. It's matched only by one brand: Craftsman tools...and they don't sell kitchen cutlery). I'm not claiming they're a perfect business...I know that the way they do their sales is at best, less than ideal...but it's still far better than many other companies' out there. I'm also not claiming that there are no salesman that go door-to-door...but those salesman are not told to do that, and it is in fact VERY frowned-upon by the company. Some salesman may also use a more high-pressure sales method, but again, they are not taught to, and the company would very much frown on that...and likely let them go. As for cost...they are around the same cost as the two highest-rated cutlery brands on the market (and btw...salesman negotiate price, so the initial price they offer you is not nearly as low as it can go...and they also accept payments, which are also negotiable), and those brands use lesser-quality materials, and don't offer a guarantee like Cutco's...at least that's what I was taught during training (which WAS unpaid...that much is true...but it was also fun). It didn't involve any safety training...that is also true...but again, we were NOT taught to go door-to-door. It was a referral system, which is generally a lot more safe. I'm sure there have been incidents that were pretty bad...but did it occur often enough to warrant any significant change in how they operate? Probably not...but that's just a guess based on my own experience working for them briefly over a decade ago. I admit they may have stretched the truth regarding the materials they use some...but I doubt so, given how easy it would be to find out the truth of it with a quick Google search. They were also featured on the show "How it's Made", so they weren't deceiving the public in any way about that process. They literally broadcast it on a popular tv show. But I WILL grant that perhaps they weren't entirely honest. I don't know for certain, because I haven't researched it. What I DO KNOW is how well their products work when they're new...how well mine and my parents STILL work after 11 years without a single sharpening...and how incredible Cutco's "forever guarantee" is. This is all just based on my own experience as a salesman 11 years ago, and a Cutco owner for 11 years.

    @@mcdaddy9563 sounds like not much has changed over the past 11 years then. Everyone I worked with loved it. It wasn't a good job for me mainly due to my lack of contact with most of my family and old family friends, and the fact that my own friends weren't the sort of people who could afford a set of Cutco knives...nor would they really want them. Most didn't have any interest in cooking, really. I loved hanging out in the office, though. At one point, we traveled from southern Oregon up to Tacoma, Washington to attend a big company "event" (I don't really know how to describe it). They had to rent-out a high school football stadium for it. There was a big stage; speakers; a live band that was amazing; and some other activities. There were hundreds of people there, and you could tell they ALL loved the job, and the company. I realize that they're a borderline pyramid scheme...and any job that's strictly commission-based can suck if you aren't really good at it...but if you ARE...there's A LOT of money to be made. The product itself though...worth every penny. Again...we've been using our set for 11 years...haven't had them sharpened even once...we cook A LOT, and use them daily...and thoutgh we are going to be getting them sharpened soon...they're still the sharpest knives we own...by far. As for this video...I gotta' disagree about the materials. They're top notch. Ours look exactly as they did on day 1, and that's after thousands of washings in the dishwasher. Cutco is very open about the materials they use, because they're proud of them. There may be better knives out there...but I've never used any. Cutco knives are NOT a ripoff. I'm not a professional chef, so I'm not sure what a professional chef who's used A LOT of expensive, top-quality knives would have to say about Cutco knives (just the product, without any bias concerning the company itself)...but I'm an experienced home cook. A good one. And if after 11 years of hard use, the knives still look as good as they did on day 1, and the butter knife is still sharp enough to cut through a thick strip of leather (which ours are...I've tested that)...that's a good knife.

    @@mcdaddy9563 sorry about your uncle...but I'm glad you received something that will remind you of good memories every day. I really don't blame people for criticizing the company itself, given that they use salesman rather than selling in stores, and the job is commission-based...but it truly is a far better system than other commission-based sales companies that don't sell their products in stores (Kirby vacuums, for example...which I also briefly sold...but though their product was incredible back in the 50''s and 60's...today it's great for about a year...two if you're lucky...then it goes to shit. We found that out the hard way). I don't understand the criticism of the product itself. It's truly a great product...clearly made using top-quality materials...and the handle was designed by a hand surgeon. I'll admit it's not the best design (speaking of ONLY the chef's knife, here) for the type of grip used by professional chef's when chopping...but it's not designed for professional chefs. It's designed for regular people...for home kitchens...and they often don't hold a chefs knife the way a chef would. As for the sharpness...again...after 11 years of daily use, and zero sharpening's, I was able to cut through a tough steak like it was butter just last night with a table knife (literally a butter knife, for those who don't know). I don't even bother with the actual steak knives. When I was selling them years ago, a cousin of mine (who was rather poor), purchased a k-bar (he was in the navy during the first gulf war), because he's really in to hunting, fishing, and outdoorsy stuff (I think he bought a filet knife, as well)...and a single table knife. Which one do you think he talked about the most after that?? The table knife. When I sold a pair of Super Shears (scissors) to the mayor...she hadn't been planning to buy anything. She agreed to let me do a demo as a favor, because I was a homeless member of her community. When I showed-up for the demo, she presented me with a sort-of "homeless care package"...just a big basket full of basic hygeine items and non-perishable foods. I didn't really need most of it...but it was a very touching gesture, coming from her...especially since I'd generally been treated like garbage in the community I grew up in, for no reason other than not having a home. She then went on to ask me about myself. She wanted to get to know me...to understand me, as a member of the community she was leading. So I told her...the good stuff, as well as the bad (including my criminal history...which is ancient history now). She never judged me at all, and was the first genuinely kind and understanding person I'd met since I'd become homeless. After that, I did the demo...and she was so impressed by the Super Shears, that she had to buy them (for gardening and cutting fabric)...and they were $80 at the time. She may have purchased one other knife, too...I can't remember. So even people who, going in, have zero intention to buy anything, often DO end-up buying something after seeing how incredible the product is, and learning about the "forever guarantee", which is the best and easiest guarantee possible. After that, the mayor and I became friends. Not the sort of friends that "hang-out"...I was 30 at the time, and had gone to high school with her son...so she was much older. Also, on top of being the mayor (which is an unpaid position, btw), she was also involved in other community organizations (like the Chamber of Commerce), AND she owned and operated a planning and development firm. She was a busy woman, to say the least...but we'd run in to each other on the streets a lot, and always stopped and had a conversation. A few times I dropped by her office to chat, which she didn't mind at all...in fact, she was always happy to see me. Being homeless was awful...especially in my small hometown, where most judged me harshly for my past crimes (all of which were minor, and involved petty thefts, mostly...I'd never hurt anyone), AND for simply being homeless...also openly gay (though you wouldn't know unless I told you, or you had wizard-level gaydar). The community was absolutely awful to me, which is why I moved as soon as I was able, and have no reason to ever return there. But to have the mayor not only show me sympathy and compassion...but also TRULY respect me and my goals...she even admired me for a number of reasons...that was what helped me get through that period of my life far more than anything else did. She was the most highly regarded, respected, and admired members of the community...I was the opposite...yet she never once judged me unfairly, and supported me in all that I did. So for her to respect and even admire me...that canceled-out the opinions of every random citizen who judged me (very few...maybe 0.5% of them...had even MET me). I haven't seen or spoken to her in close to a decade...but I will NEVER forget what she did for me at that extremely low point in my life, and I still think about it quite often. All of this was only possible because I sold her some Cutco...and I didn't have to stretch any truths, or apply any pressure to convince her to buy anything. The product simply spoke for itself. Salesman are often judged for their "convincing lies", half-truths, and pressure tactics...but Cutco doesn't do that, because they don't need to. I could do a demo without speaking a single word, and still sell the product. She was undoubtedly impressed by that, and respected that I didn't try to pressure her in any way, despite having a commission-based job, and a desperate need to sell the product so I could get off the streets and back on my feet.

    I agree with much of what you said about Vector and the sales process. We ended up getting the Ultimate set from Cutco when my niece sold them for a summer job. When I found out what she made off our nearly $3,000 purchase (which was discounted by her--their list price is more) it was jaw-dropping. We could have just as well sent her a couple hundred dollars and been ahead, in terms of dollars. We were perfectly happy with our self-sharpening Cuisanart set, and I would recommend most folks go that route, especially those grinding out a living. In addition, Cutco knives periodically hold sales events at Costco, with discounted prices, so no need to buy off a sales rep. I have heard that the steel used is not actually of the highest grade, but decent. Where I think you're off your rocker is the handles. The handles are ergonomic, solid and I think the best feature (besides the double-d edge) of Cutco knives. They're the most comfortable handles I've used, admittedly only as a layman cook that has not used premium cutlery. Their steak knives are, by far, the best I have used. The bottom line is I don't think I would recommend a Cutco purchase for most folks. I think they're great knives, and many comments below show the same from others that have owned them for many years...but they're overpriced for what they are. The average person could spend 1/4 of the money a Cutco set costs and get a department store set that will suit their needs just fine.

A 1000% markup on 440A sheeted stainless means they could replace the knife 5 times over and still make a huge profit. 440A is a disposable grade steel, Cutco also hollow grinds their knives with no distal taper. Forschner knives at $40 have better steel and grind. People who love Cutco love Cutco because they don't know any better, they're like McDonalds patrons who have never tasted a decent burger not to mention a prime steak.

    My parents own the whole cutco knife block, and honestly, they havent gone dull yet. I think my parents like to have it because it's just a nice looking set. Not sure how much they spent on it but my mother, who does all the cooking, uses her own knives. Probably cuz of the size of cutco knives, and also so those knives dont lose their edge. They've had them for about a decade by now and I use them when I go home and they are still decently sharp. I think they are okay if you done use knives often and have "show" money, but if you are serious about your cooking and like to cook every day with fresh produce, buy a beater or buy a single nice Chef's knife or Santoku. Personally, I have a Wusthof 6" chef knife (discounted at $80) and though it is a bit small, I find that I like to use it. Additionally, I just added a 8" "Wekit" $60 amazon Japanese steel (i think) chef's knife and it was pretty decently sharp (got it as a gift). The Wusthof I've had for almost a year now and only sharpened it like 3 times at most and it has a pretty decent edge.

    I love my set in the block. Had them for 20 years. Always sharp, feels good in the hand when working on whatever in the kitchen. I have however seen folks using knives for different purposes unbecoming of that specific cutting utensil. Not only in the kitchen. Camping, hunting, fishing, construction, etc. That is however the pick of the user. Peace from Texas

    This video strikes me as (and you confirmed this in your own video) that you already had your own opinions before you ever used them and your experience with them is very minimal. I'm waiting for some substantial evidence against Cutco. I've not seen anything like that. But you know what I do see plenty of? Nothing but great things to say from people who own them.

    Is this about the performance or the lifetime warranty of the knife, or is this it the sales rep thats the problem? Sounds like it’s personal to me.

    Story time: I have a cutco knife, I bought it from a friend’s cousin who was starting college and wanted a part time job. I felt bad and wanted to help a friend. Iv never really enjoyed bringing really expensive knives to work because I’ll beat the shit out of them. Cutco seemed like a good option tbh! I got a friends and family discount for buying 3… one was a gift one bread knife cause I cut a lot of croutons at my job at the time, and a santoku (my preference) I took them to work and got laughed at “yeah yeah guys, whatever it’s just a beater.” One day ONE DAY into general prep work my santoku was dull. I got laughed at even harder. I STILL get laughed at for my cutco. Iv tried sharpening it. It doesn’t keep a blade. Iv had a Chicago steel santoku that I bought from Walmart for $20 10 years ago that STILL gets the job done with minimal maintenance. My cutco cost $89!!! That’s the discount price. It’s still dull it’s still the most expensive knife in my bag and I STILL GET LAUGHED AT! Buy cutco: get bullied…

    When I started college I was looking for odd jobs and a recruiter for a knife company gave me a flyer. I needed a job and was interested in what being a sales rep was like so I got a ride to the recruitment meeting and stayed for the full session. It was scummy, predatory, and rotten to the core. The pay sounds good on paper, but after one 'practice call' with my grandmother I knew this wasn't for me. Basically 3 hours of my day wasted but a valuable lesson in marketing scams and scummy companies like cutco.

    I bought a Cutco knife from a guy selling them at Market Days. I felt a little pressured to buy the knife but eventually I was convinced & excited after using the potato knife, it cut perfectly! The 7inch Santoku knife is arriving Tuesday. I will try it out but I'll more than likely return it. After speaking to my coworkers we found out that the stainless is cheap & breaks easily. He showed me the different rankings on knives and Cutco was low.. I want a knife that will not break easily & that's a high quality stainless steel knife.. When the knife arrives I will see how it works & I'll share my thoughts about it.

    My parents have a cutco knife, and I've sharpened it a fair few times. I also learned to cook with it as my primary knife. I also gave them a Shun knife--my mom uses the Shun, my dad still uses the cutco. I think the reason why is that the cutco is *thin*. Like, the stock is thin. Geometry cuts, and cutco knives cut fairly "well" when they're dull. I also think my dad avoids the Shun because it's "too pretty". Like, it's a piece of crap, overpriced knife, but if you're used to cutco, I think you want to upgrade to another stamped knife like a victorinox.

    I've been a knife guy since I was 5 years old. I have owned many manufacturers knives. I know quality materials and craftsmanship. I have $5-$800 knives. My friend got into selling these right out of high school. I could tell right away they were inferior steel and way overpriced but he spent 2 hours pitching these to us so for his sake I bought the hunting knife and threw it in a drawer. It came with a cheap pleather sheath. 10 years ago my wife asked me for a knife to cut up some meat. Her knife was dull and I didn't feel like sharpening it so I gave her my cutco knife. She has been cutting meat with it ever since and I haven't sharpened it once! It has their serrations that just keep cutting. This year I bought her a used homemaker set off eBay for Christmas and I think she is gonna love them! Softer steel does not hold an edge as well but there is something to be said about their patented serrations. Plus I was surprised how well they hold value on the second hand market. I guess the high initial price and lifetime warranty? Straight edge ones are trash though.

My office was very particular with not being pushy. You're asking someone if they'd like to see a demo and if they don't, you move on to someone else. It's also not too hard selling $10k worth of knives or cookware and hitting a 30% commission. I've had them for 5 years and they just work. Besides, there is no other company that can compete with the warranty.
