Cutco 4 Piece Table Knife Set 1759 (Black Handle)

What makes the Double-D edge different from regular knife edges?

The Double-D recessed edge features three distinct razor-sharp cutting surfaces with pointed teeth that protect the blade from contact with cutting boards and plates. Unlike straight edges that can dull quickly from surface contact, this design maintains sharpness much longer. The edge cuts effectively in forward, backward and straight-down motions, making it incredibly versatile for all cutting tasks.

How long do these knives typically last with regular use?

Customer reviews indicate these knives maintain their sharpness for decades with proper care. Many owners report using their Cutco knives for 27-40 years without needing sharpening. The combination of 440A high-carbon stainless steel and the protective Double-D edge design contributes to exceptional longevity. The forever sharpness guarantee ensures performance throughout the knife's lifetime.

Are these knives suitable for people with arthritis or grip issues?

Yes, the thermo-resin ergonomic handles are specifically designed to maximise grip strength whilst reducing hand fatigue. The handle shape locks your thumb and fingers in place for secure control, requiring less grip pressure than traditional knives. The smooth, flush-sanded surface eliminates pressure points that can cause discomfort during extended use.

What's included in the 4-piece set besides the knives?

The set includes four table knives, a storage tray (model 1745) for organised storage and a Westwood Gourmet 12" x 12" microfibre polishing cloth. The storage tray can be mounted inside cupboard doors or stored in drawers. The microfibre cloth helps maintain the blade's polished finish and removes water spots.

Can these knives go in the dishwasher?

While the knives are constructed from rust-resistant stainless steel, hand washing is recommended to maintain the blade's polished finish and protect the ergonomic handles. The thermo-resin handles and nickel-silver rivets can withstand dishwasher cycles, but hand washing with mild soap extends the knife's aesthetic appeal and performance life.

How does the forever guarantee work for resold products?

As stated in the product information, the Cutco Forever guarantee may or may not apply to resold products. For new purchases directly from authorised dealers, Cutco provides forever performance, sharpness and replacement guarantees. The guarantee covers normal use and even misuse or abuse, with free sharpening and replacement services available.

What's the difference between these table knives and regular kitchen knives?

Table knives are designed for dining use rather than food preparation. They feature a less aggressive edge suitable for cutting cooked foods on plates without damaging dinnerware. The 4-inch blade length is optimal for table use, whilst the Double-D edge provides superior cutting performance compared to traditional table knives without being overly sharp for dining situations.

Why are Cutco knives more expensive than other brands?

The higher price reflects American manufacturing, premium 440A high-carbon stainless steel, patented Double-D edge technology and comprehensive lifetime guarantees. Each knife undergoes extensive hand-finishing processes including blade polishing and precision edge honing. The company's 70+ year reputation, lifetime warranty coverage and documented longevity justify the investment for serious knife users.
