My Mom, gave me a paring knife, as a gift many, many years ago and I have been using Rada knives ever since. They stay nice as long as you hand wash and when they develop a concave blade from years of re-sharpening, they are inexpensive enough one doesn't need to take out a loan to buy them. I will never use any other brand in my kitchen!
My sister sent me the tomato knives. After slicing one tomato I knew we had to have more of these knives. We now have six Rada knives and can hardly wait to order more. They are the nicest knives we have ever owned.
