The girl who gave the Cutco demo I watched actually compared Cutco to Henckle (she even had Henckle's pricing guide with her). Until the demo, I had never heard of Henckle.
Off track a little bit... you should've seen the girl's face when, during the demonstration, she asked me to get out my favorite knife and I pulled out a Cutco! She didn't know what to do!  She was so used to her knives beating the pants off of her (potential) customer's knives, that she wondered whether or not to even do the knife-comparisons. (You get to cut rope and leather and stuff like that... she even taught me how to use their scissors to make a corkscrew out of a penny.) |
I know we're still hijacking this but I think the original question has been answered and the follow up about whether or not it's the same to work there has been answered as well. Plus I'm really good at hijacking threads. SO here's my question:
Did she compare your older knife with some of their newer stuff or offer to sharpen the older one for you?
I know you're *supposed* to pay a small fee for sharpening with both Henckel and Cutco knives, but I don't think my parents ever have. They both stay so sharp for so long, and then the neighbor takes them into work and does it for them! I have heard, though, that when the sales reps come through sometimes they sharpen them with the hand sharpener for you if the knife needs it.
