Sold. Thanks.
Hi Guys,
I found this forum while researching a gift for my brother. Ended up getting him a CRKT Tribute 2. My wife when she was in undergrad did the whole Cutco thing. I've kept most of the kitchen knives and they are in regular use from Turkey carving to everyday chef knife work. I personally don't find them any different than my Global or Henckel knives, that is they keep an edge well and will need a very light touchen-ing on a fine Arkansas stone every 4 weeks or so dependent on use. I don't have a butcher's steel in the house and really should get one so I just smooth out my blades on a stone.
That said one thing in her collection that is just sitting there is a new in gift box Cutco serrated fixed blade hunter's knife.
It's decently made, but living in the suburbs of NJ I have very little use for it and I don't use serrated knives generally. My experience in general is that Cutco's are solid knives just not worth their retail price. Anyhow it's new in box (image attached) I couldn't figure out how to post a regular photo. I can PM the photo. But the knife is unused shiny and new as is the sheath, the box has some wear and what not as its been sitting on top of our fridge the better part of 6 years. The Hunter's knife would make a solid camping knife but as for my own purposes I wouldn't be able to do anything else with it being a fixed blade.
Looking to trade for a decent folding knife that has had little to no use. Interested in low end decent stuff like Boker, Kershaw leek, CRKT, Spyderco etc...etc... would prefer something with under a 3" blade and less than 2 ounces. I have tons of ebay stars and transactions btw.
Details of the Cutco knife are:
Blade material
440A High-Carbon, Stainless Steel
Handle material
Highly engineered thermo-resin material. Available in classic brown or pearl white.
Blade length
5-3/8"
Overall length
10-3/8"
Weight
4.2 oz. (118g)
