Cutlery Corner owner Gordon Gunn highlights 45-year Orem history

Gordon Gunn, owner of Cutlery Corner, told the Orem Historical Preservation Advisory Commission during public comment that his family-run shop has operated in Orem for 45 years and has been at its current location for 21 of those years. "We've been in business in Orem for 45 years, 21 years in this location, and 24 years in the University Mall where we started," he said, identifying the store's long local presence.

Gunn said Cutlery Corner sells and sharpens a wide variety of knives and cutlery — sporting, hunting, everyday carry, swords and kitchen knives — and that sharpening is a dominant part of the business. He said the store carries 15 to 25 other makes of knives from multiple countries and that prices range "from the $20 range up to the $500 range." "We're a family-run business," Gunn added, stressing local ownership and pride.
