Made in America, virtually indestructable, holds a remarkable edge - Rada Knives are the real thing.
I'm still on my quest for the best of everything, and in that quest, some years ago I discovered the American-made miracle that is Rada Cutlery. Many people swear by Haenckels or other extremely expensive European cutlery and I've owned a variety of knives from those sources as well as lesser knives, even the Amazingly Crappy Ginsu.

My grandmother first bought her Rada knives through a flea market vendor. They became a big deal for our family- she gave my Mom her first Rada super parer and peeler when she got married and moved away, same with my Aunt. I just got married and got my own! As kids we always knew to stay away from the knives with the brushed handles- they were SHARP! My mom now pretty much has the entire set, and I'm slowly working on mine. They are absolutely the BEST knives! (And I love that you can use their sharpener on any knife- even my old cheapo ones that I had as a student cut great after being run through their sharpener a few times!)

My dad bought a set 30 years ago and they are still in perfect condition and the are used constantly. My mom loves them so much that she keeps buying more. I'm in the process of moving and I don't have a knife set yet but these are the only knives I'll use. My hands are so tiny that most knives are uncomfortable to hold because the handles are so big but these knives have small handles and they cut very well. I'm hoping that I'm able to find a set locally so I won't have to order them.

My mother and I have been using Rada knives for as long as I can remember and have never had any issues with them. I plan on trying to talk my wife into allowing me to get a couple of choice pieces from them to add to my set as my cook abilities are increasing

Great article, Dave. I have been researching bread knives lately, and that's how I came across Rada knives and this site. I really appreciated and enjoyed all the comments -- I am sold on the Rada knives, and will certainly order the bread knife.
