Anyone have experience with them?

Very good quality. They cut good and stay sharp.

Can't go wrong with Rada. If you buy the knives, buy the sharpener too.

Never heard of RADA, but I guarantee the ONLY knife on this planet that stays sharp is the one that is not used EVER.

I've been using their steak knives for ever, and they are still as sharp as they were the day I bought them about 20 years ago.

I bought another set so that we'd have more when we get company, and I cannot tell the new ones from the old ones.

Best knives ever.

Horrible knives

I have two paring knives, a small utility, and a tomato knife. They are not full tang and the steel is thin. Not sure of the steel type but they a very very sharp and have held an edge for a long time. I actually use them more often than my Henckels. They are really light also. For sure they are good light duty knives and in my opinion a good quality for the value.

The knives themselves are find for small work, but I hate the damn handles.  They will oxidize and leave a weird feeling on your hands.

I have two of their R134 cooks knives.  For less than $10 each, they're a bargain and I use them a lot.

I've got a set of three; slicer, paring, and something in between that I never use. Great knives. I reach for that slicer more than any knife ever.

Not familiar with Rada so I'll suggest Benchmade kitchen knives.  My wife loves her set.

I have several RADA knives. I love mine. I would recommend the regular paring, heavy duty paring, tomato knife, the cook's knife, and the sharpener. Also if you do not want to hand wash your knives go with the black handle.

ETA: I really dislike the serrated paring knife because it did not stay sharp and it cannot be sharpened.

They typically do that if washed in a dishwasher. I hand wash all kitchen cutlery.

Can't say I've tried them, but look interesting.

Bought all the sets for the GF for Christmas. Look very good, price is good, cut good and they are made in the USA. Can't go wrong.

This is another reason I bought them. It is hard to find affordable U.S.A. made items of quality any more.

Ours have been great. The wide blade knife sees a lot of use, but it sucks for slicing potatoes. They suction to the blade. I use an old hickory knife for those. They work great on just about anything else.

Been using them for 30+ years.

The new ones are just as nice as the old ones.

Just keep them away from a dishwasher.

DAMN. Even the potato peeler is razor sharp.

I took off the very tip of mt left pinkie with the damned thing.
