It was close at times, but, this manufacturer made it through, and is on solid footing. Cutco is the kind of cutlery the most accomplished chefs buy and use for a lifetime.
An extensive set in a wood block costs about the same as the best cutlery made in Europe ! However, it carries the best guarantee in the industry.
Their guarantee covers any incident for life, even to free resharpening for life. Cutco also manufactures KaBar knives.
The Cutco plant is about 25 miles south my home. They have a museum and sales place there which I will soon visit along with the Zippo/Case museum and factory, which is about the same distance, but in a southwestern direction.
This is a very interesting story, along with some shots showing how best quality knives are made.
