> Has anyone out there ever heard *anything* about .... CutCo ...

I just started reading this group, so this is probably very late,
but I was broke in college and went to a Cutco demo (they were
looking for salespersons).  We watched this guy do all this neat
stuff with the Cutco stuff, the biggie being using the ordinary
kitchen shears to turn a penny into a corkscrew in a matter of
seconds.  Wow! Could those things cut or what?!  Everyone was
duly impressed - then I took a look at the guy's forearms.  Having
worked at a spa for a while, I just smiled and waited until he
had to leave the room for a phone call.  I went up to the table,
picked up the scissors, took out a penny and proceeded within
mere seconds to ..... make not the slightest start of a cut.  I
then handed the scissors and the penny to a huge football-player
type and he tried, with only slightly better results.

I should have stayed to see the look on the guy's face when he
came back to an empty room where 20 students had been just moments
before......
