Over 60 years Cutco has handcrafted knives in Olean, NY since making their first knife in 1949. They offer a variety of knife styles like paring knives, slicers, and carvers made from high carbon steel with wood or plastic handles. While wood handles can crack and absorb bacteria, and plastic may loosen or crack over time, carbon steel holds a keen edge but rusts easily requiring care. Stainless steel resists rusting but dulls more quickly.
