See I actually differ from Burley on the RADA versus Chicago knives for the money. Neither compares to really high quality knives, but I would just as soon use the RADA than those Chicago from what I have used of them. I thought all of them basically sucked.

As said before ceramic knives are the way to go (other than for butchering meat). I have 3 ceramic knives and wouldnt trade them for anything else.
