When it comes to high-quality kitchen products, it’s like anything else; there’s a wide range of quality and prices. CUTCO is top rated so we only compare to the highest quality brands.
Here's a comparison for our top competitors, Wusthöf and Shun. Have you heard of them before?
Wüsthof is made in Germany and Shun is made in Japan.
Each brand has different types of sets, which range in price.
The suggested price for this Wüsthof set is $3,435. Sometimes, you can find it on sale for $2000. There are some major differences between these brands and CUTCO:
Wüsthof has mostly straight edges & they recommend sharpening before each use.
They are not recommended for the dishwasher and the warranty only covers defects.
In comparison, CUTCO has your unique wedge-lock handle, exclusive Double-D® “stay-sharp” edge, and we have our 4-Part Forever Guarantee including our Free Sharpening.
CUTCO owners will tell you that it’s ten times better than any knives they’ve ever used. Just considering the guarantee and unique features, most people would agree that CUTCO is at least twice as good as Wüsthof.
When something offers twice the quality and twice the value, you would expect it to be at least twice the price. At twice the price you’re talking over $4000 for a set of CUTCO.
(next slide)
The Homemaker+8 is our most popular set. It’s perfect for families that cook 2-4 times a week. It has the ten basic tools I explained earlier, 8 Table Knives, the woodblock, and a sharpener for straight edges.
We also have a Homemaker set without Table Knives.
If you were considering a set of CUTCO, would you prefer the set with the Table Knives or without the table knives?
The great thing is that it doesn’t cost $4000 In fact, it doesn’t even cost as much as Wüsthof price of $3435.
IF +8 - The Homemaker+8 Set is only $1326 paid in full, which includes shipping but not tax. But most of our customers take advantage of our 5-month, interest-free easy pay option which is only $268 today plus tax.
IF NO TABLE KNIVES - The Basic Homemaker is only $1049 paid in full, which includes shipping but not tax. But most of our customers take advantage of our 5-month, interest-free easy pay option which is only $213 today plus tax.

ASK FOR ORDER: Mrs./ Mr.__________, I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t ask you; Would you like to try out the Homemaker Set today and let me give you the ___________ for FREE? (Smile 😁, be completely quiet 🤫 and wait for answer😇😎.)

(If yes) Okay - great! Just in case you might like one of our more complete sets better, I'll show you two other options. (Click Here)
**************
**************
Too Much Money/Can’t Afford it: I completely understand. $1326 is a lot all at once. That’s why most of our customers split it up over 5 months, interest free. It would only be $268 per month plus tax. How does that sound?
**************
I Need to Think About it: I completely understand. $1326 is a lot of money to be impulsive. That’s why most customers take advantage of the 15-day trial. If you don’t love it after a few weeks, we'll take anything back that you are not using and you only pay for what you keep. On the 5-month plan, you can try it out for only $268 today plus tax. How does that sound?
**************
Need to Talk to Spouse: I completely understand. That’s why most customers use the 15-day trial to make sure he/she can really see the value. If he/she doesn’t love it, we'll take anything back that you are not using and you only pay for what you keep. On the 5-month plan, you can try it out for only $268 plus tax today. How does that sound?
**************
Too Many Pieces: I completely understand. At first, 10 tools may seem like a lot. After a couple of weeks, if there is a piece or a few pieces you’re still unsure of, we'll take anything back that you are not using and you only pay for what you keep. On the 5-month plan, you can try it out for only $268 plus tax today. How does that sound?
**************
Can I buy pieces?: Of course! However, our sets are discounted, they’re safer, and you get free bonuses. If you don’t mind, I’ll show you our sets and if none of them appeal to you, we can customize whatever you want!
**************
I definitely want to buy later: OK, That's great. Let me give my trainer a call! (Call Coach)
