re: Anyone remember Cutco?

These are not good knives, especially considering you can buy an actual great knife at that price. Stamped vs. forged is a meaningless designation, as is "full tang" and whether or not it has a bolster (in fact a full bolster is not usually a good thing).
They may seem sharp (especially at first) because they're serrated; that's a poor man's way of imitating the action of an actual razor sharp knife. If you enjoy your Cutco knife - great. But no one should ever buy one.
FWIW for a chef's knife you should either spend $120+ on a high quality knife (i.e. not Henckel or Wusthof) or a $25 Victorinox. The difference between the $25 Victorinox and the $90 Wusthoff will be minimal. The Difference between the $90 Wustfhof and the $120 Messermeister Meridian Elite will be substantial.

I sold Cutco the summer after my senior year in high school with a few of my friends. Ended up selling 20k of knives in the summer and made over 5k, so I was pretty happy with it.

They are higher quality than Henckels, Wusthof, Shun, etc, cheaper, and come with a forever guarantee.

How can you say full tang is meaningless? Perhaps for lighter duty knifes but for heavier it seems like it'd be very important, as opposed to a blade just attached to a handle.
