I think ppl's memory of this stuff is more emotional than rational.
It was inexpensive kitchen implements that almost everyone had one of
cuz everyone was once jes starting out and Ecko was affordable, even
fer young adults living in dorms or 4 to a house, etc. They bring
back fond memories in this day of $30 veggie peelers and absurdly
overpriced lemon zesters, tools that don't really do the job any
better than cheapo Ecko stuff. Ecko is still available at most any
supermkt. I've seen it here. I can buy it here. I do. Not one of
their cheap-ass knives, but corn-on-cob handles don't require a huge
outlay of $$ to work perfectly.

BTW, Ecko is not to be compared, even in furthest stretch of the
imagination, to Cutco knives, which are crap. Granted, some Ecko
stuff is crap, but unlike Cutco knives you can buy most Ecko stuff fer
crap $$.
