So it somehow gave me a pride of ownership to see that the company, still going strong, has donated over a half million dollars to support the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women® movement.
A press release today announced that since 2007, CUTCO has donated $540,000. By the end of its current agreement in March 2011, the kitchen cutlery company expects to donate more than $600,000 to the fight against heart disease in women.
Besides a corporate-level donation, CUTCO also donates 10 percent of the sales of 4-Pc. Red Table Knife Sets and Red Super Shears to the cause.
According to the press info, CUTCO is the largest manufacturer and marketer of kitchen cutlery and accessories in the United States and Canada, which surprises me considering I practically never hear of the brand these days. I did see them at a recent home fair, and last year, I took advantage of the company's "Forever Guarantee," and sent in my 60 year old cutlery (yes, it was pretty much the only thing that my folks had that lasted long enough to hand down to me) to the factory for free sharpening. They even replaced one knife which couldn't be sharpened, which was pretty astounding considering the age of the knife.
Anyway, if you're looking to do some good for the American Heart Association, this is a product I can complete endorse. For more information about CUTCO, call 800-828-0448 or visit www.CUTCO.com.
Amy, I've been working with Cutco/Vector for nine years and I'm so glad to hear about your great customer service experience. My grandpa's sister bought Cutco in the 1960s and sent it back last year to get refurbished and was sent a brand new one as well. It really is a great American made product!!
