The wife got suckered into a set from Cutco 11 years ago. While I was not happy at the time it really has been a great investment. They have a lifetime warranty and free sharpening. I’ve had them replace 3 or 4 under warranty since we got em and mailed them back for sharpening 2 or 3 times, heck the block even split about 3 years ago and they replaced that under warranty. Really can’t complain , they are great knives. Funny thing is once I realized she was getting them no matter what I wheeled and dealed with 5he guy and got the hunting knife for free which I have also had for 11 years and it’s been replaced once and sharpened several times.
