Now their is no need to get pissy about it. I have plenty of friends with the same experience I know its hard to believe.. I will never make you a believer and its not my job to make you a believer. I asked for a on line dealer for cutco knives and you come along do a drive by saying I'm full of [bleep] and there better knives out their. Well [bleep] show me this knife show me what you make.. make me a believer in your product. You have a product to sell and you have to sell that product, so you have no reason to even say half ass praises of cutco. If I was making knives hell I bad mouth every mass produced knife on the market too. I asked guys already show me a knife I can do one moose, hell one elk or caribou without sharpening... matter of fact screw it do you take pay-pal? I will take one of your knives.

I'm in, I have a few blades that are ready to put a handle on. Or you can pick a steel you would like to try and a style you would like to try and I'll make it happen.

That knife you had for sale in the classifieds back in March I really liked the looks and from What I read today that is a very good steel for a knife. But here's the kicker I need a orange handle, I lost I don't know how many knives laying them down and can't find them.. I know sacrilege putting orange anything on a custom knife..

You need to, at least, TRY a Mora.

After further communication with 79s I have to come out and say I very possibly could have been wrong about the cutco's ability to skin multiple moose. I haven't used a serrated edge knife on anything but steak since I was 14 and we had the edge of my cutco ground off. In my mind we were talking apples and apples when it came to edge on the knife, instead it was apples and oranges because I have next to no experience with that double d edge. What I will stick with though is that there are much better steels for knives with non-serrated edges. And that is what I thought he was talking about on the cutco. Mmmmmm crow tastes good.

If you like your knife so much that is fine by me, and maybe you did get through the moose, I really might be wrong and I'm fine with that. But I know it would have been an S.O.B at the end because that knife had to be pretty dull. Listen to a few other people on here who have tried those knives( like myself) and then used other knives with better cutlery steel and have seen there is a significant difference in edge retention. That is the beauty of internet forums, you can learn from a lot of people who have more experience in fields that you may not in a very short amount of time. Alot of what I learned on becoming a maker I pulled off this forum from guys who have been doing it along time. Not ONE of them would spend time making a custom out of 440A, and there is a reason for that. You should ask yourself why guys who make a living based upon a knife's performance won't use that steel. Its not because Cutco knows something they don't.

Cutco delivers a great product and a great service and the indisputable truth is that most people who actually use them are very happy with them. I think you were the only one on this thread who said you had tried one and didn't like it. Cutco makes a living based upon their knives performance and they use 440A. They know that it delivers a blend of edge retention, ease of sharpening, durability and strength that keeps their customers happy, keeps them coming back and keeps them recommending the product to their family, friends an folks on the internet. They seem to have struck a great balance point between price and quality. It's hard to look at their track record and tell them that they are doing it wrong.

My step son and his team set an all time Cutco record for summer sales! That's a lot of happy customers.

If one is buying a cutco they need to buy the one with the double d edge.

I have several cutco hunting knives I spaced it and never sent one to my wife. I was sold on cutco knives 5yrs ago. I have one cutco (serrated) that I have skinned 6 moose, couple bears, couple caribou and it finally needs to be sharpened. [/quote]

Send it back to the company they will do it for free and do it right!

Did an elk this weekend with a Mora and my hook knife. Still shaves hair off my arm. Hows that for $15? I can see Cutco being great for people who don't sharpen their own blades. I also expect those people use their blade a lot longer than most others would because they have to send it in for sharpening. I imagine this is where a lot of the stories about doing multiple animals without sharpening comes from.
I'm sure I could do several animals with a cheap Mora without resharpening, but I don't need to. We had some Cutco knives back home,they were the serrated ones and worked fine as steak/kitchen knives. Can't see them being worth more than a fraction of the price they charge though.

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.
