Michael Athens with Retention gifts is the best! incredibly responsive and always delivers on time! Highly suggest!
Michael was very helpful with getting me the knives for my client gifts. Past clients say the knife is their favorite one in the drawer. With the engraving they will never forget you or how to reach you.
Michael is amazing and Cutco is a wonderful product! We give Cutco to our clients who buy or sell real estate through us. They love it! Michael is always prompt and very helpful. I trust him explicitly!
My clients absolutely love the Cutco knives I send them as closing gifts. I always get thank you calls when the knives are delivered. Michaels' online ordering form makes it's super simple and convenient. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
I've been buy Cutco Knives for my clients for years through Michael and his team. I love them as it allows me to budget and systematize my business. Also, my clients love them and tell me all the time that it is their "go-to" knife for most things in the kitchen.
I met Michael at an event and immediately saw the value of providing quality gifts to my customers. Michael helped with the logo/messaging on the knives and the quality is amazing. We have one in our kitchen and my mother-in-law loves it and uses it daily to slice/dice her veggies. Great program, amazing value, and very impactful. Thank you!
As a kitchen designer, Cutco gifts have been the icing on the cake as a way to express my appreciation to my clients. Without exception, every client is thrilled to receive their gift. Previously, my gifts were nice, but were not received with the same enthusiasm. Can't wait to continue sharing Cutco with my clients!!!
I have been using Cutco knives for years. I met Michael at a trade show. I was thrilled they could engrave the knives as advertising for my business. This is a wonderful gift for my clients. They appreciate the fact that it is a very useful and a classy gift. I will order again when my knives are gone! MJ Cooper
I (Cindy Eenigenburg) have owned my Cutco knives for 20 years. I love them and they still look brand new. I have sent them in to be sharpened and it's a simple process. I was so excited to get them back. Cutco even replaced a couple of them because they felt that they didn't live up to their standards. The fact that they are made here in the USA is just the icing on the cake! We think givin... More

Client recently requested an additional knife! And referred me to three new clients. Besides that, the quality of the knife is superb. Will consider expanding the Cutco marketing program next year. L. Wolf (general contractor)
Cutco are the best knives I have ever purchased. Not only are they very stylish, they smoothly cut through the food you are preparing with little effort.
My clients love the knives!
Michael's gifts are amazing!! Not only are they tax deductible, 'clients love them. The quality of the gifts is top notch!! I can't wait to get some more from him.
Michael has a great vision of how to impress an already happy customer and keep them engaged for future projects. There is no doubt that the quality of an American made product like CUTCO is recognized and enjoyed by clients, and the personalization is the extra touch that makes it unique.

As a Realtor® specializing in helping first time homebuyers, it's a really nice Thank You gift for closed clients once they've been in their new homes for about three months. My clients have loved these cutting boards! One client thought it was a wall art piece. One client has vowed to never use it and sent a picture of how it was used as kitchen decor.
I am a Real Estate Agent and I have been using Cutco gifts for about 6 years now. I have the program set to give a cutco knife with my logo on it as a closing gift and then 3 months after closing they are sent a cutting board.

I am a Real Estate Agent and I have been using Cutco gifts for about 6 years now. I have the program set to give a cutco knife with my logo on it as a closing gift and then 3 months after closing they are sent a cutting board. They absolutely love it, they are shocked that I not only give them a closing gift as a thank you but send another 3 months later. The best part is it takes 3 mins of my time to fill out the form, Cutco does the rest. I have given different gifts at closing and of course they love them, but I like this program as it keeps on giving. My clients love it. I have owned cutco knives myself for about 20 years. There has only been one occasion where one of my knife handles broke, they replaced it no questions asked. Michael has been wonderful to work with, always returns my calls, and is pleasant to work with. I highly recommend working with Michael at Cutco! Less
I gave my clients a knife set engraved with Welcome Home and they were brought to tears. They said they had never had such nice knives...and they are over 80! Every closing I've given Cutco and my clients are always impressed!
I love this program for our client gifts! Great quality gifts and very attentive team! They are always available to assist and make the ordering process seamless.
I've recently started giving away these knives as a closing gift for clients. Each of my clients who've received them has told me that they love the knives and they're so much better than the ones they already have. I used to give away gift certificates, succulents, gift baskets, etc., but I love how the knives can be used for decades to come. They're now my go-to closing gift!
Michael is amazing. If you're looking for a gift for your clients he will help you personalize it so it fits your business.
My clients love receiving personalized gifts. The knife quality is amazing and they last forever! I love my Cutco knives and always use them when having company.
The Cutco program was so easy to use, and the knives were beautifully engraved and packaged for gift giving. I liked that I received all 6 knives I ordered but was billed over a 6 month period. No billing issues either. Easy peasy and great gifts!
Michael’s company does a great job of helping me keep in touch with past clients and getting referrals from current ones. The Cutco products are a hit with my clients, and I love that they will see my contact info most everyday. Highly recommend.
How wonderful to discover that I can send a fabulous long standing product to my clients. What a bonus that they are personalized how I want them to be. My clients call when they receive their gift to thank me. I get the chance to go over all the benefits of owning a Cutco product.

CUTCO is the BEST, and so is Michael Athens! Michael has been such a pleasure to work with. He fully stands behind CUTCO and goes above and beyond with customer service. We personally use CUTCO in my home and I provide a CUTCO product to all of my clients! Thank you, Michael for all of your help and work!

Michael always provides the best service! Cutco makes a wonderful product and my clients absolutely love the spatula spreader.
Michael and his team are fantastic to work with and their customer service is top notch! My clients love their Cutco gifts as well!
I have had Cutco in my kitchen for 20+ years. I was thrilled to meet Michael in 2012 when he provided the option to buy Cutco as a marketing piece with my contact info engraved. I have been ordering Cutco from Michael ever since. He is great to work with and even came to my house to sharpen all my knives. Cutco is a great product!
Super helpful, great gifts that last forever for our awesome clients!
I love giving Cutco to my homebuyers and sellers! I have used Cutco myself for 40 years and my mother has has her set since the 1960s! I wouldn't use any other knife so when I met Michael, I was thrilled to be able to share my love of Cutco with my clients.

They have excellent videos on their site to share with your clients to show them how do use the gifts, also great ideas for a presentation. they go the extra mile to make sure that your gifts arrive in pristine condition with beautiful packaging. they have a couple different set ups of how to present the gifts, I have them shipped to me in bulk already engraved with my logo and contact information and it works wonderfully for me. I always have a gift on hand, with no last minute shopping required, including great gifts for silent auctions, etc. My clients LOVE the gifts, and because they are all engraved with my contact information, and because of the engraving, I am not limited to the $25 gift allowance, as they are marketing materials.

Michael makes sending a closing gift so easy and leaves a lasting impact on the receiver. So if you need a gift I highly recommend using Gifts with an EDGE!!!
I’ve been using Michael and Cutco for years in my real estate business the knives are great closing gifts and Michael is a top notch representative. A++
Michael is a terrific sales and marketing rep and has great customer service skills! We are happy to utilize his services.
I work for a financial firm and we purchased these beautiful cutting boards for clients with their name engraved on one side and our name and phone number on the back. Great customer service and high quality products, I highly recommend!
