16. Best deal I've ever got!

I got my first apartment in 1974 and had never bought anything on time so had no credit rating which meant I couldn't get the utilities turned on. A Cutco Salesman came to the door and I bought the two racks of kitchen knives, utility pieces, scissors, sharpener and steak knives for $15 a month and gave them to my parents for Christmas. They also came with a set of pots and pans that I kept for myself. Mom and Dad are gone now, but the knives that have been used every day are still like new. I sent them back once for sharpening and the handle on one was damaged and they just replace the whole knife - same with the kitchen shears. So send back your melted knife - chances are really good they'll replace it.

When I look at the prices today in their catalog, I'm really glad I bought them and can't believe the deal I got!

As for selling only to married women, that's not the best plan. Singles have more disposable income and the ability to buy on whim when they don't have to think about the opinion of a significant other. A lot of single men fancy themselves amateur chefs thanks to all the cooking shows and they also appreciate good knives. Wonder how they compare in price and quality to the set Gordon Ramsey endorses. Wonder if it's made in the U.S. and if the guarantee could possibly be as good.
