Up for auction is a complete vintage (generation one) Cutco knife set. Includes No 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 + trays 41 &42. These are the Cutco knives usually mistaken to have wooden handles, As you can clearly see they have the same bowling ball plastic handles all Cutco knives have. These knives were manufactured in either 1949, 1950, or 1951. They have already given a life time of service.
This set has been refurbished by the Cutco factory. The knives have been cleaned and polished so they are in top condition. It should be noted that Cutco does not remove all of the cosmetic flaws (scratches) when they refurbish their knives. but they do confirm the integrity of their products.
The knives were manufactured in the USA, and are guaranteed by Cutco forever, no matter who owns them. It is my understanding that a special fund has been established to honor this guarantee no matter what happens to Cutco. Also several years ago the Cutco employees bought out Cutco, so the knives will always be made in the USA by Americans.
