then you know how good they are get the santoku!!I have 5 diffrent kinds of those knives and I like all of them. They stay very sharp although I have had to sharpen a few times as I have had them for about 4 years. Don't have a santoku of that brand though. Nice!
yeah, i had a friend in 1991/92 with a new Harley. As he was removing parts and replacing them with chrome. We saw some parts "Made in Japan" . i laughed. he was pizzedNICE find! things made 100% in USA are very hard to find! just like HArley motorcycles(which are crap) but there parts are made over seas and the bike is assembled here is the USA! such BS but i feel ya on the look you get when you ask for products "made" in the USA!
rule of thumb....
You get what you pay for...
and chinese cutlery even in stainless rust in my dishwasher....
so try to get something rpice wise good that dosent rust in the dishwasher
and also... i notice that the "jet dry" stuff helps to have more rust spot on the chinese cuttlery...
my 2 cents!
would prefer buying US knifes than Chinese one. this helps our neigboord
Got a couple Rada knives for X-mas myself and so far I am blown away for the price! I got the dicer(sort of a mini cleaver) and the stubby butchers knife and I plan on adding several more to my collection.
glad you replied its been awhile since i touched base on this subjectOld topic but I did manage to pick up a 7"(?) Rada Santoku at a gun and blade show a few months ago. I've cut tons of peppers and other vegetables with it along with the occassional pork (for pork fried rice) and it's still quite sharp. It's been my favorite prep knife since the day I brought it home. My only real complaint is that I wish the handle was a little bigger for a better grip but for the price you can't go wrong.
