When you invest in premium Cutco cutlery, you’re not just purchasing exceptional knives—you’re joining a community that values quality, craftsmanship, and lifetime performance. One of the most valuable benefits of owning Cutco is access to professional knife sharpening services, and if you’re in Orange County, California, independent Cutco sales professional Deanna Scortino, known as The Knife Gal, makes keeping your knives razor-sharp easier than ever.

Understanding Cutco’s Forever Guarantee

Every Cutco knife comes with the legendary Forever Guarantee, which includes free sharpening services for life. That’s right—your knives can be professionally sharpened as many times as needed, for as long as you own them. While Cutco’s factory sharpening service requires you to ship your knives to their facility in Olean, New York (you pay shipping costs), Orange County residents have a more convenient local option through Deanna Scortino’s personalized service.

What Makes Cutco’s Forever Guarantee Special

The Forever Guarantee covers:

• Lifetime performance guarantee on all knives
• Free sharpening service for the life of the product
• Product replacement if needed due to manufacturer defect
• Transferable warranty that can be passed down to future generations

This comprehensive guarantee sets Cutco apart from virtually every other knife manufacturer and represents the company’s unwavering commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

Maintaining Sharp Knives Between Professional Sharpening

While Cutco’s Double-D® edge technology maintains sharpness longer than traditional straight-edge knives, following best practices will maximize the time between professional sharpenings:

Use Proper Cutting Surfaces: Always use appropriate cutting boards—Cutco recommends their lightweight polypropylene cutting boards to minimize edge dulling. Avoid glass, marble, or metal surfaces that quickly dull any knife.

Hand Wash and Dry Immediately: While Cutco handles are dishwasher safe, hand washing extends knife life and protects edges from dishwasher exposure.

Store Properly: Use knife blocks, magnetic strips, or blade guards to protect edges and prevent damage when knives contact other utensils.

Use Correct Cutting Techniques: Avoid twisting, prying, or using lateral pressure. Let the knife’s sharp edge do the work with proper slicing motions.

The Value of Regular Professional Sharpening

Many Orange County knife owners wonder how often they should schedule professional sharpening. The answer depends on usage frequency, but most home cooks benefit from professional sharpening once or twice per year. Heavy users or professional cooks may need more frequent service. Regular professional sharpening ensures optimal performance, safer cutting (dull knives require more force and are more likely to slip), and extends the overall life of your knives.
