Cheaply made stamped metal serrated knifes that saw through food are always bad. The reason they seem sharp is because of the serration. You don't want to saw through meat, you want to slice it. I can draw my knife over a ripe tomato and it will cut it like butter.
Most people though wont care, and something like a cutco knife will work great for them. No sharpening or special care. Great for grandma I guess, but I would rather have a good knife with a razor sharp edge. Sure I need to sharpen it one and a while and use a knife steal at least weekly, but that is really down to preference.
Cutcos are cheap but again, they might fit some people just perfectly.
My opinion on the cutco's and similar knives.

but maybe you should know what you're talking about before just spewing random bullshit. i think paying a few dollars more for a product that will last and works amazingly is worth it, but some people are cheap
Sounds like they've won -- they've sold the idea of selling their knives to you.
Cutco knives ain't bad. Cutco knives are very expensive.
And the lifetime warranty is pointless (ha!) considering that knives don't break and need no 'servicing' other than a new edge every once in a while. I'd rather take them to a local sharpener than send them in the mail.

You don't 'get a job through them.' They sell the idea of selling their knives to you.

Any knife made of decent steel with a regular edge would be better.
Find something with nice heft at a thrift store and take it to the sharpener.
Knife sets go on sale ALL the time. If you keep your eye out online and in the circulars from Kohls, Target and the like, you'll find shit.
It really sounds like they've won you over. You're assuming that the rest of the world carries the burden of proof to show that they offer something better than Cutco. That's perverse; it shld be the other way around.

OMFG YES 
FUCK THAT SHIT FUCK THAT SHIT FUCK THAT SHIT
man I was intrigued by the premise of 15 base pay and you also get commision pay
Selling these supposedly lazer sharp knives
to people in their homes, one on one selling
thing is
this shit was expensive
and quite frankly people arent going to throw away kitchen utensils that they've had for like a decade and still works fine and fork over 200 bucks on a new set
plus I live in NYC
people have better shit to spend their money on
like weed
and other thangs
they brainwash you 
oh
ad this bullshit fucking job got me arrested 
because i was blazing up with a friend and this idiot decides to take someone's bike in the laundrymat beneath his apartment (we were like 16 at the time)
then the dude, me, and another friend get stopped by plain cloths cops
because someone saw him when he did it and calld the cops
i didnt even know where he went when he did this  
this retarded fucker we were with decides to pull out a BB gun
i swear to god the cops were about to pop him, but then he threw the gun down and begged and said it was a toy, this moron
anyways they were looking for a kid on a bike, found us, searched us, said i can go but the 2 of them gotta head down to th station
then they stop me when they realize i had a bookbag they didnt search 
so on that day i was gonna quit my job at vector but their office was closed when i tried returning the knives i brought in my bag
so i had been carrying these fuckco knife set all dau (they giv you a free knife set)
anywhoo the cops were like at all the knives then 
i had to explain
they didnt listen
off to fucking central bookings I went thanks to my two idiotic friends
and spent 36 hours in holding next to a bunch of drunk mexican immigrants awaiting deportation
and a junkie in withdrawals
and a elementary school teacher found with an 8ball
and most importantly of alll
because of this scammy fucking business
tl:DR; piss on vector marketing, they indirectly got me arrested

that sounds like a horrible experience man, i'm sorry you had to live through that 
if it makes you feel any better, i'm planning on only humiliating myself through maybe 5 or so appointments and then stealing the knives
