[edit] Rada cutlery

Non-notable and a blatant advertisement. Delete. –Sommers ^(Talk) 21:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Delete - as per nom. --Oscarthecat 22:18, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Advertising, in a really poorly-written style too.  (aeropagitica)  22:40, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and don't tell me "BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!" Ruby 23:52, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep -- rewritten completely. If it survives AfD it should be moved to Rada Manufacturing, though, with Rada cutlery as a redirect. BTW, my own personal testimonial: I've seen these things at church fundraisers, and they are elegant and seem to be reasonably high quality for what they are. But I personally use a big German kitchen knife the size of my arm and would probably find a Rada knife to be uncomfortably light and whippy, so so far I've resisted buying them.

  • Is there anything notable about Rada Manufacturing or their knives? —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-01-24 06:36Z
    • Well, there aren't that many cutlery makers based in the US, and Rada seems to be very commonly sold for fundraising purposes. I'm told they have a rather high "oh, my grandmother had that knife" factor, for whatever that's worth. As I said, though, they aren't particularly high profile, though there seems to be a good number of google hits (raw number, around 200K for "rada knives"). On the other hand, Google Groups only comes up with a couple of hundred references, with seemingly none past 2004. Make of that what you will. I would say they are within certain circles, but a little research is called for. (And the knife design itself is very notable -- all-metal construction like Global, but very, very different in overall design.) Haikupoet 06:52, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as rewritten, advertisement claim no longer holds.  Grue  14:25, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
