Been thinking about get a few , what are yalls thought about them? Where would be the best place to get the best deal for them. Pros and cons?
I have the serrated hunting knife and serrated boning knife. Both gifts from my wife. The hunting knife is the first knife I could skin and cut up a jumbo size alligator with a single knife and not stop to resharpen. But it does have a thin very sharp tip that would break if it caught in a bone joint and will easily punch through a hide or your finger if not careful. Out in the field hunting away from camp I carry one of two buck knives. At camp my buck knives are only for the tough work cutting the joints, bone, ect. Or anywhere near my fingers. The tips already broke off those years ago and reshaped and sharpened. The cutcos I use for everything else like skinning, final quartering, deboning. Fish cleaning I use two dollar retired used commercial fish cleaning knives.
Cutco is one of those things like Tupperware or Mary Kay. Sold by individuals through a pyramid sales scheme. Probably overpriced and better out there for the same money. I personally would not have bought a first one to try, but admit the serrated hunting knife is my #1 knife now and I have several other brand knives I no longer use.
My wife bought mine helping a distant young relative of hers who learning the ins and outs of salesmanship had to pay for their own demonstration knives.
With the easy repair and sharpening programs I would have no need to buy another other than maybe the non serrated versions of what I have. To be honest. If not received as a gift, I would only buy mine used off eBay before I would pay the high retail on these.
