My grandmother had these knives. I keep buying more, just for different uses. The paring knives are the best for peeling fruit. Thin blade means you only take the skin off, not half the apple.
I can attest to the knives being sharp. I have managed to slice my fingers several times. I'm just not use to really good knives. One thing that might be looked into is the handle right beneath the blade. I punctured my finger while using a knife and it was worse than a slice. My husband took a file and filed down all the sharp edges to make them safe. I love these knives.
Once I placed my order, I received my knives within a week. I have other paring knives that just do not "cut" it and were much more expensive! The Rada knives are really great. I am using them daily! The quality of the knives is excellent and very affordable. I am very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend to anyone to buy Rada products, you will be glad you did.
