Quality workman ship make this knife one that every cook needs in her kitchen. It peels even the ripest tomato without a mushy mess. It slices with ease. I have one, but with canning season here, I knew I needed another. I love all my RADA products.
Love these knives! I use the utility steak more then the serrated steak. Easier to switch between textures of foods. Great craftsmanship and material. Comfy handle for ling days in the kitchen.
I'm not quite sure how I came about knowing this knife existed, but I'm sure glad I found it. I never even knew there was a knife made just for tomatoes! I have my late mother's small paring knife that she used for everything and it's probably more than 50 years old. It looks like it's most likely a Rada knife also. The blade is very skinny now from all the years of my dad keeping it sharp, but it still works! I've never known anyone else that actually peeled their tomatoes besides my mom, but she was a pro at it. (A skill I'm still learning to do).This tomato slicer is the best knife I've ever used to slice tomatoes! No more squashing tomatoes like I use to do.
I'm now 64 years old and my younger brother and I (there were 5 of us initially) have most of our parents knife collection. I have also purchased the Chef's dicer (the one that looks like a cleaver) and even with having so many knives from my parents, these are my go to knives for most of my cooking tasks. Thank you for making such good knives and especially ones designed for particular needs. If I decide to add to my collection, Rada knives will be the only brand I will look at from this point forward.
I purchased the Tomato slicer after seeing Brenda Gantt using it on her Facebook page, Cooking with Brenda Gantt. Tomatoes are one of my favorites, and I often struggle with cutting them this knife worked perfectly.
This is the sturdiest tomato slicer I've ever used. The blade is not too thick, but thick enough that it doesn't flex and stays straight when cutting tomatoes.
