OK, so my nephew, a recent high school graduate, just got a job selling Cutco. He said he got paid for every demonstration so I let him come to my house (he was an hour early) and show me his knives.
Well I do have to say I was kind of impressed by his demonstration. He asked me to get my sharpest straight blade (got the boning knife because it's newest and the serrated one)
Well, it took 8-10 swipes of the boning knife to cut a rope, and only one or two of his knife to do it.
The serrated blade, however, did its job well ... yes it took 2 swipes vs one of his, but his knife was also twice as long, a fact I pointed out!
Needless to say I didn't buy anything ... but I was really surprised! It may be time to get my straight blades professionally sharpened!
