Yes, we sharpen Cutco knives. Straight-edge and serrated.
Most sharpeners turn Cutco away, especially the serrated blades. That's ok. But, we don't. We work with the geometry that's already in the blade to restore a working edge. We're not cutting new serrations. We're sharpening what's there. For most serrated Cutco knives that haven't been heavily damaged, that's enough to bring them back to meaningful performance.
Straight-edge Cutcos are straight forward. We treat them the same way we treat any quality American kitchen knife, methodically, to an angle that performs, by hand.

What to Expect
Cutco uses a softer stainless steel than most Japanese or high-carbon blades. That's OK, it sharpens and performs well in a home kitchen. After service, expect stronger performance with regular use. Plan on bringing them back every 6 to 12 months, based on use and desired sharpness.
Serrated Cutco blades after sharpening won't be factory-new. Yet, they'll be noticeably sharper than they were, and better than most expect from a blade they assumed was done.

How often should Cutco knives be sharpened?
For regular home use, once every 6 to 12 months, based on use and desired sharpness. If the knife is pulling or tearing instead of slicing cleanly, then it's time.
What Cutco knives can't be sharpened here?
If the blade has significant chips, a bent tip, or the serrations are heavily worn down, factory service might be the better call. We'll tell you upfront if that's the case. We can typically repair chips and bent tips, etc.
