Rada Cutlery Ham Slicer Knife Stainless Steel Blade and Aluminum, 9-1/2 inches, Silver handle

I know, I know this is not an expensive knife, not a this name or that edge. Here's what--if you are like most of us, the average home cook who isn't cutting into 500 lb sides of beef and is not inclined to fuss over sharpening knives or spending hundreds of dollars on one kitchen knife then this one is more than satisfactory. It is ridiculously sharp--it cuts through ham, a roast or a turkey with ease. Yes, it is a thinner blade and has some flex to it. Given how sharp it is, there is no flexing that I experienced. That said, if the edge should dull then you will have a different result which is true of any knife. European and Asian knives have differently angled edges and require more specialized sharpening tools and techniques with some even needing the skills of a professional. This knife holds its edge well and can be sharpened. Or at this price, you can dispose of it and get another. You will achieve good results without investing a small fortune.

I use this knife to cut everything from competition ribs, to brisket, to sushi rolls. Very sharp edge that makes perfect slices every time. The handle is made from recycled aluminum if you’re into helping out the environment. You can’t find a better slicing knife at this price point anywhere.

I have been enjoyed using RADA knives for the past 14 years. The ham slicer isn't just for ham, it works great for slicing homemade bread as,well. Works cutting all types of meat. My tomato slicing knives are 14 years old and still slice a tomato just like when I bought them. Can't go wrong with the price and quality plus made in the USA.

The blade is great but the handle finishing got washed out in the dishwasher. Why make this type of handle for the US customers? Since everyone will eventually put the knifes in the dishwashers.

I got my first Rada knife 5 years ago and I continue to add to my Rada collection. These knives hold up amazingly well and always stay pretty. It takes a really long time to dull these knives but is super simple to sharpen them and then they are good as new. I use the Rada brand sharpener. I'm amazed Rada brand products are so reasonably priced. I have fallen in love with this brand and I will not bother with any other.

Quality is outstanding. VERY sharp - cuts great. From previous experience, this is a long lasting products. This knife replaces the one I lost.

Carving and cutting tomatoes

I love Rada knives. I own a complete set.

Best knife for the price ..wouldn’t buy any other kind

La marca RADA, es sencilla en terminado de sus productos, pero muy eficientes. Buen filo para los jamones y piernas.

Nice

Only wash it by hand and then dry it out. Keep it stored in its sleeve.Excellent quality at the time I bought it, a few years ago! Used it to cut thin wafer thin slices of jamon or prosciutto. If you are careful with it and not abuse it cutting other stuff, or knocking it on a cutting board, you can expect excellent results every single time. Only used it for carving meats, nothing else

I have other Rada cutlery products.
