Ode to Cutco Knives

I love my Cutco knives.

If you had asked me 5 years ago if I had any preference on kitchen knives I would have said, "No". Then probably gone on to defend why any particular knife should not be shown any favoritism. A knife is just a knife right? Kitchen knife breaks, buy a new one. One should never spend $100+ on a kitchen knife.

My friend Sara has given me four Cutco knives (she used to sell them). Over the course of a few years she gave me one on my birthday or for Christmas. I have a santoku, paring, trimmer and spatula spreader. She told me that within a few years they would be the only knives I would use.

They are wonderful. They are the only knives I use.

Perfect julienne vegetables, excellent sliced tomatoes, macedoine cheese cubes, chiffonade cabbage, brunoise onions!

I still cringe to hear the price tag associated with each Cutco knife but at least for now I recognize--it's also worth the price. Just don't cut yourself!

Now back to cooking!
