cutco is a good quality knife.... I never gave knives or anything that could come back and bite me on the butt.... or slice my throat in court!!! one never knows today.....

No, I do think the Veg-a-Matic is still the best

I have Cutco. Pricey but very good Q

Our steak knives are still going strong some 25+ yrs. later !

Not sure if I would prchase knives as a closing gift.

No. I personally would not give a "gift" to anyone with my name and/or logo on it.  It would be more personalized to THEM ... not me. 

Quality product but very pricey.  Fortunately they last forever.  

My hubby bought set from college freshman who was trying to raise $$$.  We still have the knives but the kid didn't complete first semester.  Ugh!

I give a cutting board and a Cutco knife at all my closing over 100K.  If there are any less than 100K they get a cutting board regardless.  They IMHO a great gift and I have a supply of them 

I have two of the knives that I bought years ago and like them. 

I have not.  I have seen a demo at some courses I have taken.

No, we have not done this, nor have I seen it done.  Today giving 'sharp objects' (HA!) is not something that I consider, though Cutco has an excellent reputation Eric Kodner.

Eric,

According to legend giving knives as a gift can cut the friendship unless you also include a coin.  I don't like giving anyone a knife as a gift.  I have seen them, and heard praise about them.  It is just our opinion, as we like picking out our own knives when we need one.  A

yes.... There are better gifts......

Nope

As most people buy a knife they like it is not an item I would purchase as a closing gift.

I have not but I have seen the presentation at a couple of events and passed. Sorry to hear the order was not satisfactory, Eric.   

My set is over 30 years old and still growing strong. My sister received an engraved carving knife for a closing gift and thought it was great. She uses the knife and doesn't have to look around to find the name and number of that awesome realtor.

Never have, but think they are a quality gift!

No.

Good morning Eric. I don't give out closing gifts, hopefully my service is sufficient.

I haven't but my sister has some and loves them.

Sorry to hear that Eric, hopefully the will get it right next time.

Eric Kodner they claim to be very successful for closing gifts - and I believe them.

Though I have never bought it, I have seen many agents buying this gift (specially engraved) for their life-time memories.

While they are a quality item, I would never give knives as gifts.  I have a full set of the Cutco knives and use them daily.  Great product and quality.  Price is a bit more than I think they are worth. 

No haven't purchased.  I purchase Lumio as closing gifts 

I would never in my life give a knife as gift

No, I have not had any experience with Cutco and after your review, I probably won't!

Had a rep come to our office, but never purchased any.  

I have seen the displays at trade shows but never ordered any as I thought the cost was high and didn't want that kind of investment inside a drawer and rarely seen.

No I haven't Eric Kodner but we were talking about this in my office a few weeks ago and a few people do it and even monogrammed ones.

I have not

I love CUTCO - and I just got a referral for a buyer from my CUTCO rep so that may tell you how much I support CUTCO - I give it as gifts and I use it myself ALL the time!

No.

We were talking about this about a month ago for closing gifts. I think it's outrageous! They better chop vegetables & meat all by themselves for that price. 

I have and still give them out.  I think they are great and my customers love them.

I personally own Cutco knives and have for two decades. They are expensive but quality is great and they are as sharp today as they were 20 years ago. That being said, I simply won't give knives as a gift to anyone. It may just be a superstition... but I feel it's bad luck to gift knives.

They don't fit the needs of my clientele so I am not a purchaser of them but the quality and price are commensurate with the hands on service our longtime local representative provides. A well designed and balanced knife that virtually lasts forever, where can you find that in a gift at any price Eric.

No. However, my wife has purchased some for her own use.

Pricey but good gift - people love them. I've had no issue with their services, etc. And a tax deduction

I haven't but they display at state conventions and they seem very good.

I haven't purchased them for a client, however I used to sell them (many, many years ago). It is a quality product.

The Slap Chopper.  Just kidding.  No knives though, although quality is great, it seems dangerous.  First time home buyers ussually get gift card to a major chain hardware store because they'll probably need it.  Other buyers, maybe a bottle of something something in a gift  basket if I know they drink.  Yes, it's dangerous too... use in moderation. 

I did buy a set a while ago, and thought they would engrave them, but you have to buy THREE sets before engraving.    I thought they were pretty pricey.

Knives don't sound like a good Feng Shui-type gift... 

I purchased some at a trade show.  The quality is good but I agree that the price is too high.
