It is the parent company of CUTCO Cutlery Corp., <a href="/wiki/Vector_Marketing" title="Vector Marketing">Vector Marketing</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ka-Bar" title="Ka-Bar">Ka-Bar</a> Knives, and Schilling Forge. </p><p>The company has been the subject of criticism and lawsuits for its business practices, and has been accused of being a <a href="/wiki/Multi-level_marketing" title="Multi-level marketing">multi-level marketing</a> company. The <i><a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles_Times" title="Los Angeles Times">Los Angeles Times</a></i> claims that Vector meets the <a href="/wiki/Federal_Trade_Commission" title="Federal Trade Commission">Federal Trade Commission</a> (FTC) definition of a <a href="/wiki/Multi-level_marketing" title="Multi-level marketing">multi-level marketing</a> company which is "businesses that involve selling products to family and friends and recruiting other people to do the same" because they sell their product through person-to-person sales. Salespeople are generally young and recruited from high school or college. Students are hired to sell Cutco products (mainly kitchen knives) to customers, starting with their friends and family. Vector's recruitment tactics have been described as deceptive, and they have faced numerous lawsuits over their pay structure and treatment of its salespeople, who are mostly <a href="/wiki/Independent_contractor_(USA)" class="mw-redirect" title="Independent contractor (USA)">independent contractors</a> instead of employees. Vector claims they are a single-level direct selling marketing company, not a multi-level marketing company or a <a href="/wiki/Pyramid_scheme" title="Pyramid scheme">pyramid scheme</a> as its detractors claim. </p><p>The company was founded in 1949 by <a href="/wiki/Alcoa" title="Alcoa">Alcoa</a> and <a href="/wiki/Case_Cutlery" class="mw-redirect" title="Case Cutlery">Case Cutlery</a> (hence "Al-cas") to manufacture stainless steel knives for Alcoa's <a href="/wiki/WearEver_Cookware" title="WearEver Cookware">WearEver Cookware</a> division.
