I'll never understands how cutco can sell so many knives and never even publish what type of steel they are
for fun, next time someone tries to sell you a cutco, ask them what type of steel they are and ask them to explain the difference in steels
I believe its something like 440A, a cheap high carbon stainless steel
440A is cheaper to produce than say 440C, which has a higher carbon content, hence higher hardenability, better edge retention, etc. Also, cutco is a stamped product vs a forged knife.
They sell cause they are cheap, and people don't hold on to things anymore. I sharpen my knives quite regularly, yet I hardly know anyone my age that still does this. I even talked to a friend who said he just pitches his knives when they get dull and buys new ones......
