Rada Cutlery Housewarming Gift Set, 3 Piece Boxed Set, Made in USA, Dishwasher Safe Black Handles (G202) Review

These are great little knives and I am planning on adding many more RADA knives to our household. First. I love the fact that they are made right here in the United States by a well-established company. They have a Life-Time guarantee. And they are a GREAT PRODUCT FOR THE MONEY! The blades are as good as any of the Swiss or German manufacturer knives.
Be sure and get the Rada Knife Sharpener when you order. Although the Rada knives have been holding their edges very nicely so far, I have salvaged other knives in our kitchen with their great little easy-to-use sharpener!
I have not placed these in the dishwasher yet. We usually handwash all our cutting knives, so these are no different. But I do not have to worry if the kids are visiting and one or more of these get into the dishwasher inadvertantly (which is why I opted for the black handles instead of the silver ones available).
They do not have "heft" to them, but handle nicely (in my opinion) and cut divinely! This is a great little set for a housewarming or other gift also, so many people make-do with inferior knives that it would be a welcome addition to any home.
Check out the entire Rada line (can you tell I'm hooked on these yet? :-)
They have many individual selections as well as a number of gift sets available. These shipped directly from Amazon, so qualified for SuperSaver Shipping (I'm hooked on Amazon SuperSaver Shipping as well :-). What good is a Life-Time guarantee if the company is half a hemisphere away? BUY USA! And you can't go wrong with these!

I had been searching for a dishwasher safe knife set for a while now, but they all seemed out of my budget. Then I found these Rada knives on Amazon and after reading the reviews figured I'd order them and, even if they were just okay, I hadn't spent that much so it wouldn't really be a big loss. Well, needless to say I've been impressed since day one. I've used them every day, several times a day and washed them in the dishwasher many times now. They are still incredibly sharp, lightweight and feel very comfortable to hold. I wouldn't change a thing! I plan on ordering more Rada knives as needed.

In my opinion, Rada Cutlery is a hidden gem among all the kitchenware that is available today. The knives and gadgets are well made and durable--I especially love this peeler for carrots and cucumbers and my serrated chopper makes short work of chopping a cup or more of nuts (and I do not have to drag out the food processor, etc.).
I have many Rada knives, also, and find them to remain sharp for a long time and to have a good "feel" in the hand. They are also made in USA!

UPDATE: Be aware that bec the handles are aluminum, the oils in your hands will make the handles become a dull grey.
My husband is the carver in our family and he loves this knife. It is light weight, will not take up the room that the electric knife does and slices like "buttah". He prefers it over the electric knife. And we, like Alton Brown, don't like unitaskers. It is less unwieldy as well & no fuss. The handle has a satin finish to it, so there is a texture. It is inexpensive enough so that if it doesn't last (which I don't see why it wouldn't) that we could replace it easily. I bought the steak knives and 2 tomato slicers and like them a lot.

I have never taken the time to write a review but this great product deserves all the attention it can get. AnySharp really lives up to its claims. I have owned every knife sharpener from a grinding wheel, oil stone, electric sharpeners diamond and otherwise, as well as an assortment of hand held devices which are all retired now that I have AnySharp. It is safe. It is fast. It can make a cheap super market knife cut like an expensive German knife. Yes the cheap knives may not hold the edge as long but with AnySharp you can restore the edge with a couple of strokes. I have restored old knives to service with this sharpener. It also reaches and sharpens the entire blade better than wheeled devices. I just wish I owned the company or at least a couple more sharpeners for the camping and fishing.

Staub Oval Cocotte Review

I have hoped to find a true competitor to Le Creuset for years, one that was more affordable and of the same quality. Staub fills the bill, and fills it with style. This cocotte is large enough to accomodate a good-sized chicken, and is perfect for slow-cooked stews and braises. The interior coating is easy to clean and effectively non-stick. While its weight may be a deterrent for some, it is so attractive that it can be left on the stovetop or on a counter for easy access. It is my best purchase of the year and I look forward to using it for years to come.

I LOVE THE SHARP SERRATED BLADE OF THIS KNIFE. IT IS OF GOOD SIZE, FITS INTO MY HAND PERFECTLY. THE ONLY PROBLEM I FIND IS THAT THE HANDLE IS NOT SATIN FINISH ALUMINUM, BUT RATHER A BRUSHED FINISH THAT CAN BECOME A BIT ROUGH FEELING IN THE PALM AFTER SEVERAL WASHINGS.

If you are able to get real bagels - as opposed to the bread-like things sold in grocery stores or in the mid-West - this knife is for you. I make my own bagels, using high-gluten flour and the boiling method, and the exterior is definitely the "tough" crust of real bagels. Most bread knives had some difficulty biting into the crust and then cutting through the entire bagel.
This Rada bagel knife bit right in and was able to handle the tough bagel crust without damaging the more delicate interior. I've been using it for three years, and the knife is just as sharp as the day I got it.
I would not recommend using this knife on more delicate breads and rolls as the cutting edge is rather coarse. Rada makes a wonderful bread knife and a short bread knife that are ideal for other breads.

Lansky Crock Stick Serrated Bread Knife Sharpener Review

Lansky Crock Stick Serrated  Bread Knife Sharpener
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am a fan of Lansky Crock Sticks and I was excited to see that they sold a sharpener for serrated knives, so I ordered one from Amazon. I was disappointed and disgusted when the item arrived. It has two little illustrations on the package that are supposed to pass as instructions. There are no written instructions at all and the pictures are inadequate, as far as I'm concerned. Also, the item is not put together correctly. The sharpening stone is triangle-shaped and has a groove that runs the length of one side. This grooved side is supposed to be glued to the wooden handle, but they glued the wrong side so the groove is exposed. The part of the handle that the stone is glued to isn't level, so the stone doesn't even touch it on one end. The item was slapped together by someone that obviously was clueless and the quality control was non-existent. I went to the Lansky website, hoping there might be at least be instructions there, but there are none. I emailed their customer service and received no answer. I am going to return the item to Amazon; it is useless to me. Lansky should be ashamed.

Chroma Type 301 Designed By F.A. Porsche 8 1/2 inch Bread knife Review

Chroma Type 301 Designed By F.A. Porsche 8 1/2 inch Bread knife
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently purchased a set of 6 of these knives, and I couldn't be happier. We were originally considering Global and Wusthof Culinar knives, but once holding those and then these, we decided these were the knives for us.
Their unusual design is not only stylish, but functional. The wider handle design makes them easy to hold onto, even when your hands are wet or greasy. (Not the case with the other two.) The knives are also heavy and extremely well balanced, giving you a solid feel when you cut through something. Finally, they are forged out of just one piece of metal, so there are no seams (like on the Wusthof Culinar line) between the handle and the blade, making them a breeze to clean up with a little soapy water. (As with all good knives, they should never be put in the dishwasher.)
This bread knife cuts through soft or hard bread with ease. It is so sharp that I think it will be a long time before it needs sharpening. (For comparison, I use some of the other knives in my set every day, have had them for 3 months, and I'm just thinking of sharpening for the first time soon.)
I really don't think you could go wrong with this knife.

Although this is a stamped blade, it is a very well made knife. Instead of a 'tooth' style serrated blade, it has a scalloped edge. It works beautifully on bread of any kind, cuts right through any crust without crushing the bread. Also cuts cakes cleanly. For bagels it works best if you lay the bagel flat.
I've also used it to carve boneless roasts with good results. It doesn't carve well though for turkeys and chickens (but then it's not designed for that task.
I've had this knife for 2 years and it cuts cleanly every time and supposedly will never need sharpening. Time will tell on that one.
