Cost of knife
I'm sorry - had to chuckle - in today's economy "only" and "$100.00" - and I'm complaining about the $75 price tag on the Zirconium Carbide ceramic as compared to the $35 Zirconium Oxide Ceramic as being expensive!
Silly me!

Cutco
I own every piece of Cutco ever made in both the white handles and brown. I own the 3 piece boxed carving set. I own the hunting knives and every fork, spoon or grenade launcher that Cutco ever made. I think I own pieces that Cutco doesn't even remember having made.
Why do I own so much Cutco?
My father is retired, loves to search flea markets, goodwill stores and garage sales and buys every piece of Cutco he finds. He sends it all in, has them sharpened, polished, and any repairs done and then gives them to me and my brother. I have never bought a Cutco knife in my life.
They are good knives and I use them every day as my utility knives. About once a year, my Dad rounds them up, gives me a new set and sends mine in. I think Dad has hundreds of these knives lying around. My guess is he has never paid more than $.50 for any of them.
It works for me. I have some very good knives.... honestly, they don't get used much. I have too many Cutcos...
I even have 2 copies of the Cutco cookbook from the 60s or 70s.

Very frugal Dravur!
On the other end of the spectrum I just took a 300 dollar Busse Skinny Anniversary Steel heart knife and reshaped the blade and handle by hand to make a kitchen knife. I think I spent more on sandpaper than you have on your Cutco's. LOL!!

Cutco are stamped... worth about .50 but not much more, IMO. 
I don't like balance or the way the top of the blade wears into your finger as you're dicing something.
