I'm amazed at the ease of slicing any size tomato with the Rada Tomato slicer. No more hacking and sawing, it slides right through no matter how tough the skin is. Love it!
I have two knives that slice tomatoes well, this one and a finely serrated vegetable knife. Both allow me to cut thin slices. I had to put off canning for a few days when I accidentally left my vegetable knife at church. Bought this RADA and use it regularly. Would not want to be without a tomato specific knife again.
Do like it very much keeps an edge for a long time

Thanks, the surgical stainless steel we have been using since 1948 has properties to be hard which allows us to put a razor sharp edge on it and for it to hold that edge for a long time.
Your tomato spider and peeler are my most prize possession in my knife collection of Rada. I've had my peeler for over 5 years. The slick cuts tomatoes like a charm. I have bought both for my family members (4 Sisters, 2 Daughter in laws, and 3 Great Granddaughters in law). I am sure they will love theirs as much as I love mine. They are all getting them as Christmas presents this year.
Having spent too many years in food service I find these knives truly amazing. From the sharpness, balance, design, and functionality the task is made simple, fast and accurate. Whether a novice or experienced you will find these tools quite worth the minimal investment. Few things impress and yet these did. Thanks!
The single most useful knife in our kitchen. Slices, stays sharp, excellent as a steak knife as well as roasts. Have given lots of these as gifts and everyone who has received one agrees.
