Cutco Corporation, formerly Alcas Corporation, is an American company that sells knives, predominantly through direct sales or single-level marketing. It is the parent company of CUTCO Cutlery Corp., Vector Marketing, Ka-Bar Knives, and Schilling Forge. Its primary brand is named Cutco.

The company was founded in 1949 by Alcoa and Case Cutlery (hence "Al-cas") to manufacture stainless steel knives for Alcoa's WearEver Cookware division. Alcoa purchased Case's share in the company in 1972, and Alcas became a separate private company in 1982 after a management buyout.^[1] In 1985, the company acquired Vector Marketing Corporation.^[2]

In early 2009, Alcas changed its name to Cutco, the name of the primary product.^[3]
