Review: Quality at a good price - First impression: i had been eyeing this French Chef knife for over a year. As I have always been partial to the Rada brand Quality of materials: 9 /10. Ergonomics: 7/10 Pros: affordable, very simple and sleek design, easy to sharpen and keep sharp. Cons: not the most comfortable chef knife I have ever used. Would I recommend this product: Yes. Final Thoughts: I absolutely love Rada. My father swore by these knives growing up and they are sturdy and reliable. With that said I personally do not use this knife as much as i thought i would. The blade feels too large and thin and it is just was not what i was hoping for when I bought it. It would be perfect if the blade was just a bit smaller. Honestly, I would still recommend this knife as they are built to last and at the end of the day they are sharp and will get the job done for years.
Review: Comparison to the Victorinox Chef Knife - It may be a bit unfair to compare both knives, given I’ve had the Victorinox knife for about 5 years now. It’s stayed in good shape, I’ve kept it sharp, but I never loved it. I slice a lot of cucumbers and onions, fruit and vegetables and meat. And with the Victorinox, everything stuck to it (the cucumber slices) as I cut it, making it take forever and having the added danger of accidentally cutting myself. Many times my knife slipped and I did minorly cut myself. And then the Rada knife arrived. This knife is everything I wanted the other knives in the past to be. I will sing its praises, no food gets stuck, it is light, it is comfortable and safer, and, it’s even thinner than the Victorinox. I have other Rada knives, the tomato knife being my absolute favorite invention, and the paring knives. But I could declutter all my knives and keep this one. This one is it y’all. And the price for such a quality item is impressive. My Cangshan knives don’t compare either. I feel like an old school reviewer saying I want to replace all my knives with this brand! But seriously, it’s so worth the price. Recommend this and the tomato knife for a great rounded out minimalist set.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like A Secret You Are Afraid To Share
*by S***P on December 1, 2018*

Most home chefs are cooking snobs who would look down on this brand. Don't. I cook every day. I don't just cook, I make wonderful food as I'm retired and it's sort of a hobby. I have many knives at my disposal including several chef knives, and this particular chef knife gets used the most. For most tasks I reach for the Rada. It wasn't always that way, but it is now. For example, when making a tossed salad it's the perfect slicing and chopping knife, there is no better knife for that task. It makes precision slices of tomatoes and every other veggie. It's a very thin blade which I love. Thin but sturdy. The blade geometry is interesting, robust near the front where it counts. I used it to carve several turkeys this Thanksgiving. It's not a carving knife, but I knew it would be great for that, and it was. I used to use the Rada sharpener, but it takes off too much metal. To keep it sharp I use the Smith's CCKS 2-Step Knife Sharpener, primarily the ceramic side. It's around $4 and works perfectly with this knife. The thinness of the blade allows it to be re-sharpened easily and almost new again. I would say the only thing it's not great for is heavy duty chopping such as raw carrots, it's too light for that in my opinion. It will get the job done, but I use a white handle santoku for that. I prefer the plastic handle, but I'm sure the metal handle is fine as well. Someday I'll try the metal, but that will be when the two I have break. In other words, not for a long time. They are very durable, and have held up to years of dishwasher use with no problem. Made in the USA to boot. They're not expensive steel, but they're not junk you find at the Wmart either. Buy just one, even if you are skeptical. I think you will keep it in your rotation. It's also super sharp when you first get it so be mindful of that.
