Cutco is a company that sells overpriced medium-quality knives and the only other employer Chris has had besides Wendy's. Chris was employed by Cutco from June to September 2003.
Chris describes his background with Cutco in the Miyamoto Saga e-mails:

Cutco, under the guise of Vector Marketing, is a notorious borderline scam.[1] While arguably not an outright scam, they will hire more or less anyone who is willing to pay $150 upfront for a "demo kit" and get people to buy overpriced knife sets on commission through leads (in other words, Chris was not going door to door). They target high schoolers and college students along with people with no real experience (such as autistic manchildren) for these "sales positions."
It is unknown if Chris was ever able to sell a knife set to any of his leads, as even people who aren't autistic, corpulent manchildren have trouble doing so. It is possible he did sell so people could get him out of their house. In reality though, the only commission he ever made was from his parents who probably bought something from him to make him feel better. Chris touched back on the subject on his CWCipedia entry, explaining that his Cutco job "was ONLY a Summer gig" and "it may have gone longer if my boss had not left Charlottesville for good in August."[2] Chris is oblivious to the fact that his "boss" pretty much took his money and skipped town. He later told Vanessa Hudgens that his boss "got replaced."[3]
Other mentions
- Chris put a Cutco outlet in CWCville Shopping Center.
- After Chris smashed his dildo on 6 February 2009, he used a pair of Cutco Super Shears to cut it apart.[4]
- Chris used a Cutco knife to make his "IBA" denim top.[5] We can assume from these two reference that he has a lot of unsold Cutco knives lying around.
