I have a Cutco Homemaker+8 set and I love it! These knives will cut through anything! The only negative part is that they are so sharp and I'm pretty clumsy, so sometimes those two do not mix well. :-) I have had my set since 2005 and they are still very sharp. I highly recommend purchasing the scissors as well. These scissors are unbelievable! I have two pairs. One pair I use in the kitchen and the other pair is for my husband. We have used them to cut through PVC pipes and carpet. Although I am sure this is not recommended, these are our "back up scissors" so we use them for that. I did sell Cutco back in 2005, but that does not affect my review. I do love these knives!

My biggest problem with this product is the price. Why are these so expensive? I purchased this because I have a cat that has suddenly been marking around the house and I've had to trap him in our basement, which has just broken my heart. This product is expensive and really didn't seem to help with the problem. I think if the price weren't so high I might really try investing in these more, but it is prohibitively expensive for my family. The liquid only lasts about 2 weeks and you have to basically put one in every room to make any sort of difference. We used these with the Sentry calming collars, which do have a little more of an effect than the diffuser, but neither has solved the marking problem.
