I purchased my first tomato slicer over 8 years ago. That same knife still cuts a ripe tomato with ease and has never been sharpened. I use it for EVERYTHING! Watermelons, pealing everything, even cutting meats. Now I know there are different knives meant for all those things but all I need it 1! I have bought them for gifts and everyone who has received one loves it too. Five years ago I bought my second one. Cause well two is just better. I lost it a few months ago and have been sad about it since. I’m going to splurge on myself and replace #2. Maybe I’ll find it and be ecstatic with 3!!
This is a steak knife sized multi purpose knife, longer than the paring knives and shorter than many of the others. I like it although my paring knives get more frequent daily use. The blade thickness and shape are similar to the regular paring knives. The blade isn't as heavyweight as the cook's knife or the stubby butcher knife, but it doesn't need to be. Good for lots of kitchen uses or as a steak knife. I buy the black resin handles because the silver ones will get damaged in a dishwasher. I appreciate that all Rada knives are still made in the USA of USA materials. Radas are my favorite knives and I've used them for years. Sharp and good quality at an affordable price.
Hands down the best tomato slicer ever! Agreed by all the recipients gifted to a while back! It gets a daily workout here in Jersey & it’s tomato season now & we have the best!
I've had the serrated Tomato Slicer for several years. While it also works well for other soft foods, I save it for tomatoes. It cuts through the skins without smushing them and can cut very thin slices. A nice, inexpensive addition to anyone's kitchen knife collection. I love that Rada products are still completely made in the USA and don't cost a fortune.
