I have several cutco all gifts from my mother inlaw I have skinned a buffalo with the double edge and it worked fine but it needs reshaping and I hate sending my knifes to someone else for that. I have a great knife sharpener and would much prefer to have a straight edge over serrated. That said I am pretty certain cutco has limited hunting/ tactical/ outdoor type knifes because they are owned by ??? Kabar and do not want to compete brands.
