Based on the positive reviews and because tomato season was right around the corner I decided to purchuse this knife. My husband of very few words says " it's great." And that says a lot!
I used get so annoyed with my regular blade knives when I sliced tomatoes. No more! I love this new tomatoe slicer! It cuts from thin to thick as smooth as butter. Great for many of my other slicing needs as well. I’m going to buy for hostess gifts and Christmas.
This is one of my favorite Rada knives. I purchased my first tomato slicer many years ago as part of a school fund raiser and it is still as sharp today as it was when I first bought it. Still slices a tomato as thin or as thick as you like it. I've used it for cutting watermelon open to slicing meat. The only damage I've been able to inflict upon it is bending the tip while trying to pry something apart with it. I just purchased two slicers for my daughters. They love theirs as much as I do mine. 5 stars??? I'd give it 10!
Bought this as a gift for a friend who was anxiously waiting for the first ripe tomato from her garden. Her reaction when she used this knife for the first time was, “Oh. My. Gosh. What a fabulous ‘tamata’ (inside joke) knife.” I agree. I have bought several of these for friends and relatives and it always gets rave reviews.
