I also had to buy the demo set to get started. I think it was like $125

I think you got like a 90% discount!

On the other hand, selling home security systems door to door, which I also did, did have a performance based pay, which was 10% initial and would go up to 50% plus bonuses to top sellers. And it only went up via sales, not recruitment.

Maybe Cutco found the MLM tactic to be more profitable since you had to buy your own demo sets.

like i’d trust anything from morakniv to hold up wonderfully, and the risberg is only $19, or you could get a basic 511 or 546 for like $14. they’re one of the best values in fixed blade bushcraft style knives i reckon.

but outside of them, i don’t know that i’d trust much at that price point.

Got some clay in the garden, almost tempting to form it into a tile and use that as a sharpening stone. But stone probably lasts longer.

actually though serrations are generally only cut from one side, so you can very carefully sure up and hone the flat side. the opposite you would do with something like a flat ground tanto.

if you wanna be REALLY careful you can use a round sharpener that matches the size of the serrations and hit each one individually. this will also redefine their points if they’ve been dulled by less careful sharpening.

although since it’s also a cutco knife you can just send it to them for free sharpening, you just have to pay for postage.

If you want easy without learning how to sharpen by hand, get the “Work Sharp MK2” electric knife sharpener.

Most everything else besides those setups are way more expensive, a rip off, or take too long to use.

Do need to sharpen them at some point. Probably could do with a decent sharpening stone too. Have thought of just smoothing a stone tile/brick and using that as one.

I could recommend someone with money to burn wanting a nice display set of knives as they host dinner parties getting a set of these in the block. They look “pretty” and work well. I would never tell anyone to just buy one or two of their kitchen knives. If you aren’t going to match, you can find other knives with better balance that are a lot cheaper. You can go check, though. I’m pretty sure Cutco has a website you can order from now.
