You know, just out of high school, I responded to a "job offer" ad that turned into a sales pitch to sell knives.
This was the late 80's, and I honestly don't remember the company, but it may well have been Cutco.
Not sure about the OP's motivations, but he might just be trying to find out, as he puts it, "whether or not they are worth selling at the price they are listed at."
Can't speak to that question as I've never owned any of the 440A line.
However, I do own one high quality Cutco knife. VG-10 steel. Made in Seki, Japan. One of my favorite kitchen knives, hands down.
