My wife’s aunt bought a big set of Cutco knives and the wood holder for our wedding - that was 26 years ago. They are still like brand-new. They wouldn’t look too cool for slicing up zombies, but the chef/butcher knife would sure do the trick. Just yesterday my young daughter was calling it a “chef’s knife”, and my wife and I were saying it is a butcher’s knife! I’m guessing my teen daughter is correct - but she’ll never here it from me! (It has a broad blade but curved and pointed at the end. The more I think about it - a butcher’s knife is probably the rectangular blade?)
I did attend a Cutco demo a few years ago, and bought one (small) knife only - white handle. I like it a lot. Spouse annoyed I did, because of the price.
I understand one can pick up Cutco knives on a web-site or two.
I don’t remember blade shapes now.
‘Chef’s Knife’ may be ‘easy’ to think of because of the TV show ‘Chopped - ?’
Just be wary of those types of people. It’s like the truck selling steaks that are from some farm in Montana, and it’s all just marketing.
Thousand dollar vacuums that work really well, but they are just doing creepy marketing to people who can’t afford it, and then they get them signed up on loans, and they make profit off of selling the loans. At 19 I applied for a job with a place like this, and they were ponzi schemes and very shady. I quit as soon as I saw his bullshit. I stay far far away from multi-level market type of people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-level_marketing
You can get much better knives for the same price from companies who actually make good knives.
