Review on 🔪 Rada Cutlery 8.5 Inch French Chef Knife - Stainless Steel Blade with Aluminum Handle - Silver - Made in the USA by July Sin

Even though I have much more expensive chef's knives (Wusthof, Japanese Gyuto boutique), I often reach for Rada because it feels really balanced in my hands and holds a much better sharpness than others. I like the thin blade as it gives much better control over thicker blades like the Wusthof. I certainly won't get rid of my Wusthof or Gyuto as they serve their purpose, but I'm drawn to Rada first for most tasks. Although it cuts much better than others, like any other blade it needs blade maintenance and like everyone else I sharpen it with a diamond sharpener before each cooking session. It needs to be re-sharpened every now and then, but I can do that with my ceramic whetstones, while others require more tedious sharpening with a whetstone. I have owned this knife for 6 years now and it still looks and works the same as the day I got it. I wish I needed more knives to support this great cutlery company but given the quality I don't need knives anymore! Overall, this is a great utility knife that I use often for most kitchen tasks.
