EDIT: I spoke with my professor, as well as the Cutco manager, and if you have been disuaded from supporting the cause, I may be able to offer something attractive. I can offer you guys here on CGN 20% off the price of any and all products! I typically shy away from stuff like this, but I believe this one is worth your attention. I truly appreciate your support on this.

Just a preface: I know the type of people that you are, and have seen your generosity and support in spades when a kid needed a hunting rifle, or some binoculars, and I thought I would give this a shot. Not to mention that I also believe that these knives are very good quality, and backed by a superb warranty. ;)

I'm just finishing up my business degree this year, and one of my classes is a sales management class. The professor thought that there is no better way to teach sales than to have us go out and try selling. He wanted us to sell a top-quality product so that we would sell value, not just rock-bottom prices. He decided to have us sell Cutco knives. :eek:

Here are a few options. They are $99 plus shipping (probably about $20 from Canada to the US), and are available in blaze orange or black, drop point or clip point, and straight edge or Cutco's Double-D edge (different from a serrated edge). There are other hunting knife styles available, as well as a length-adjustable, removable-blade fishing fillet knife.

The course program is called Selling Smiles 101, which you may have heard of before. The catch is that we don't keep any of the money that we make through sales. The professor has established a relationship with the Children's Wish Foundation, and they have selected a child named Kyatt, who has cerebral palsy, and all the proceeds from our sales will go towards fulfilling his wish, which is for him and his family (of 9 children) to go on a family holiday together.

Now, I have a couple of samples of these hunting knives in my possession, and I'm carrying them with me while hunting this season. Here is what I have noticed:

- they feel good and grippy in the hand
- they seem to be made of top quality materials (440A "surgical grade" steel)
- they have a LIFETIME warranty.

If they get dull, a nearby Cutco sales rep will come to your home and sharpen them for you. If there isn't a rep nearby, you can send it in and they will sharpen it for you. If it breaks or chips or whatever, while being used in the manner for which it was designed, it will be replaced. The knives have gotten really good reports from the hunters testimonials that I have read on these forums and others.

I would really appreciate any support you can offer. Thanks guys! Let me know if you have any questions, and I will do my best to get some answers. Thanks for taking the time, and sorry for any inconvenience that I may have caused.

One member on 24hourcampfire just posted this:

"I have one with an orange handle and the double d (serrated type edge). Love it for taking apart moose. Have done close to a dozen with it plus several elk, deer and antelope. I have never had it resharpened. Where do we order, just send you a PM?"

There are not many knives that will process nearly a dozen moose, a bunch of elk, deer, and antelope without needing to be re-sharpened.

I'll let you know as soon as I have some personal, first-hand experience with the knives on game, but don't be too quick to assume that they aren't good knives.
 
I can't speak about the program but I can speak about Cutco's.

They are a good working knife. I've used them and the serrated blades are amazing to cut with. I've used them to remove the legs at the knee joints of deer, skinning, and splitting the breast bone on deer. They work very well and do retain their edge.

I am not an expert on steel nor a knife nut but I can appreciate what works and they do. I've had much more expensive knives dull on me before I've finished even one animal.

IMHO I think they are worth the $100 if you compare them to what is out there now. They are not fancy but they do the job for which they are intended which is to cut efficiently , hold an edge and not break. As any knife they won't stay sharp forever so if the warranty is legitimate that is a plus as well. The one I've used has done 4-5 deer and is still in good working order so I have not used the warranty yet.
 
I've had a Cutco(black one pictured) and they are very sharp and well made. I don't like serrated edges for skinning, but that's a personal preference.

The fileting knife looks interesting, as I remember the handle being nice and grippy, even with wet hands. Is the edge serrated on that one as well? Doesn't look like it in the picture. Either way, I'd go for that one. :D
 
I asked 3 of my hunting buddies about the blade designs (2 are butchers and 1 is a meat inspector).. all 3 of them said..

stay away from serrated edges for processing the animal and for skinning.. you need a knife which you can use a steel on several times during the processing (cutting up the meet) and you can't do that with the serrated edge. These are guys who can process a full sized bull in 45 mins}(No saw, de-boning only) , and use knives all day almost every day.


(Hate to say this but....)

Your professor who is doing the business degrees should know that the hunting knife market is very broad and lot volume. for someone who is supposed to be a "professional" in running businesses, He should have done his homework. The concept smiles 101 is gret, but could have been 100% more effective if they targeted the home kitchen knife market rather then the hunting one. (where a serrated edge is more usable) I'd give that prof an D-

The fileting knife does not have a "Double-D" edge, but rather a straight edge. The blade does lock at different lengths, though, just in case you need to change the blade length. The sheath also doubles as a "fish grabber", as you can see in the pic ;) The price on that one is also $99, and it comes in black or orange. Let me know if you would like me to get one ordered for you. Thanks.
 
Sorry, I need to clarify a few things:

- We are able to sell the FULL line of Cutco knives and products, not just hunting knives. I simply posted the hunting knives here because I knew the kitchen knives would be less interesting to you ;)

- The hunting knives are available with a STRAIGHT edge, as well as a "Double-D" edge. You can choose either option.

- The Double-D edge isn't serrated, but rather is a triangular edge design with 3 distinct edges. It cuts nearly as cleanly as a straight edge, but with the bite of a serrated blade. I haven't used this type of edge for hunting, but I have a sample with me that is an orange drop-point hunter with the Double-D edge, and hopefully I'll get to use it on some meat and hide tomorrow :)
 
My family has an entire Cutco kitchen set, and I have the Cutco filet knife.
These are top quality products, and worth the money. They are sharp as F#$k.
Anyone I know who has used one will testify to that.
Christmas is coming.....hmmmm

Yes, Christmas IS coming!! :D

Thanks for the testimonial and the support.
 
I own both the fillet knife and the drop point with the double d edge. I love them, and will not use anything else now. I got the orange handles, and its quite handy for low light conditions when you put you knife down for a second...The grips are incredibly ergonomic, and do not slip when you have fish/animal guts and blood all over your hands...well worth the $100 each. I snapped the tip of the hunting knife off when I stabbed it into the ground and found a good sized rock...one phone call to cutco and i had a box shipped to my house for me to mail it in...about a week later, I got my brand new knife.
 
I have the blaze orange clip point with the double D and have used it during my back country forays for years. I love the thing so very much. Even the sheath is awesome. I also have a set of cutco in my kitchen. I love them so much that I absolutely hate cooking anywhere that does not have them. As for quality, I have never had a problem and have put my clip point through a lot of bad weather, rather poor cleaning practices, and some tough cutting.
 
No worries with cutco knives. I have more money invested in my kitchens knife set then most of my rifles and like the poster above I find it hard to use anything else. I use to run high end Zwilling J.A. Henckels and I can honestly say cutco is in a league of there own. They use to have a program were they would replace a knife if you lost it :eek: but thanks to many that abused it they no longer do that.
 
I have the filet knife, excellent knife, also a kitchen set.
These are quality knives, as I too used to make a living with a knife, worth the cost. the only thing that I found compares with these knives is my handmade drop point that I have yet to sharpen, and it has done dozens of deer and four buffalo.

My father ran Henckel for a long time and switched over to Cutco. When he bought his block he picked up a few hunting knives as what they consider "free gifts". I'm sure they were paid for but I ended up getting one for myself out of the deal. I've used a lot of hunting knives in the past but nothing held it's edge like this one did. I've gone through about a dozen deer with it and am starting to have to resharpen it occasionally. Once hunting season is over I plan to send it away to have it resharpened at the factory. I would definitely recommend these knives. The one I'm using is the Drop Point without any form of serrated edge.
