Favorite Things #33 - Rada Cutlery

A few weeks ago I told you about Shun knives and how much I love them. I understand that the knives are very expensive and really don't fit into most people's budgets for a knife. Here is my absolute favorite affordable alternative, Rada Cutlery.

Rada Cutlery - great knives

Picked up this awesome Rada knife for $10
These knives are SHARP and extremely durable. You can get this awesome knife on Amazon for around $9. I first discovered these knives in an Amish community in Western PA and bought a paring knife and a chef's dicer. I bought those knives about 14 years ago and they are still incredibly sharp and have maintained a perfect edge.

What is your favorite bargain item that is just as good or better than the big name brand?

  2. That looks like a great knife. Sadly I don't have any non-brand wins lately. I keep hoping. :) I don't have a shun knife but I do have a large set of Wusthof.

  3. $9? Really? That's a nice buy if this knife works well! Like Maureen, I also have Wusthof too, which we received as wedding gift off our wedding registry. I love sharpening knife... as if it's my hobby! Hehee.

  6. A good knife is something to behold - the knives at my kitchen office sucked as and brought a $9 paring knife that I bought at Whole Foods - it works great!

    I'll have to check that knife out though! Hope you have a great Saturday night!

  7. This is a great looking knife. I haven't bought a knife in so long, and mine are kind of blunt. This is a great recommendation.

  8. My Shun knife is probably my favorite possession! Great that there are alternatives for those that can't afford them! Mercer is also another great cheaper brand!
