All Cutco products carry a forever guarantee, which is extremely generous and really never questioned. If someone breaks a product they can return it for a replacement, so Cutco demands high quality materials and processes to keep returns to a minimum. The company built their reputation with superior ergonomic handles (before the term was popularized) and their forever guarantee. So the pressure was on to create tools that maintained a Cutco quality look and feel. The 2-piece handle includes an injection molded structural piece and overmolded grip. The head and shaft are cast and plated zinc. Cutco took responsibility for the scoop head and knife blade. Bresslergroup focused on handle details. The SurfaceWorks for surfacing in combination with SolidWorks for the remaining parts. Bresslergroup simply emailed the handle files to Cutco for combination with the cast shaft and scoop component, which were then prototyped and tested. The resulting parts were extremely close to production-ready, and used to test concepts with consumers, and to run through Cutco QC checks.
