Amazon Deal of the Day: Shun Ken Onion 3-Piece Cutlery Set $200 and my take on Rada Knives

[Grateful11]

Someone was asking about knives the other day, these are 60% off but still $200

Personally I have a lot of Rada knives, they might need more frequent sharpening but are really
nice knives. My Dad taught me how sharpen a knife when I was like 12 and it's been working
for me all these years, nothing but a smooth 2"x8" stone.

I use this one a lot:

It looks like they quit making the Ham knife I have.

what is the weight on these knives ? or, how do they compare in weight to a Wusthof for example?

thanks for the heads up.

edit: i see they list the weight. but, it would still be good to hear real world comparisons.

I've been in and out all day and this is the first time I've picked up the computer long enough
to post. I don't anything about them, it just came through on a Slickdeal.net Deal Alert.
