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.

costco's come with a lifetime warranty with no receipt, stay sharp for years, and that's just the beginning. i'm not gonna get into it

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.

hm, interesting. i didn't really look at it much, but perhaps costco knives are only the "best" among the more simple minded consumer who doesn't like to look around too hard

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.

if you want to get a REALLY good set of knives go with MAC or Global.




Wow never heard of those companies but that review site made them look great. I am going to have to look into those. I do need a real set of knives some day.

I do really love my messermeister Chinese cleaver. Nasty sharp.

OMFG YES :zomgwtf:

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 :tinfoil:

oh

ad this bullshit fucking job got me arrested :ifyoucanawe:

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 :picard::shrug:

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 :facepalm:

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 :freshwtf: at all the knives then :House2:

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

the cool thing is they give you a free starter set of knives after training with a value of $300+, so if it doesn't work out for you you can always sell the knives on ebay :evil:




I bet you pay at least $300 before you make a penny.

I know pyramid schemes.

You will spend more than $300 before you make a penny. Maybe a lot more.
