I inherited a set and I agree, they're perfectly decent knives that hold a good edge, but the handle takes getting used to. I use their paring knives and bone knife but use my second hand Spanish steel Henkels for mostly everything else, because I can practice home sharpening and make them look as ugly as I want without guilt. The biggest difference I noticed is that the simple wood handles offer way more options for holding the knife in different ways comfortably. There's clearly a "correct" intended hold with the Cutco. They also feel heavy, which can sometimes be limiting.

Even though I enjoy using mine I still wouldn't recommend them, just based on how inexpensive a nice second hand set from other brands can be on the used market.
