Rada Cutlery

Rada Cutlery

In search of the highest-quality cooking knives that exist? Look no further - at Kooi Housewares, we believe that you deserve only the best cutlery. That's why we stand by Rada products: they've been producing pristine, sleek cutlery for over 75 years. The Rada brand was born a few years after World War ll, when they began to create knives as an outlet for repurposing leftover metals and materials from the war. Since then, they've branched out and expanded their kitchenware products to include cooking and serving utensils, baking pans, kitchen gadgets, and even premade mixes for soups, dips, seasonings, and cheeseballs.

Rada: A Cut Above the Rest

Rada produces all of the items in their catalog in the United States, unlike most American-based cookware companies that outsource their production to foreign countries (no, they're not made in London, or Beijing, or any of the other places you're used to seeing on the labels!) They're philanthropic at heart, with a strong emphasis on providing fundraising opportunities for school organizations, churches, veterans' collectives, and fire departments. (Hint hint: if you need ideas for fundraisers, Rada cutlery might be your next big cut).

Rada knives are made with surgical-quality stainless steel, sharpened by hand, and backed by a lifetime guarantee - what more could you ask for? The months will turn into years and decades... even still, Rada knives will serve you. Rada cutlery makes a great gift for the cook in your family - perhaps the best they've received! Whether you're buying for family or for students at your culinary academy, we think these Rada cutlery pieces will sharpen your arsenal. No matter what, you'll be thoroughly impressed with what these knives bring to the table... er, cutting board!

We'll Cut to the Chase - Rada Cutlery Takes First Place

Rada is most renowned for making the best kitchen cutlery around. When you need a versatile cooking knife to complete your kitchen, Rada is the way. Several of their knives are made to do it all - from slicing and dicing fresh fruits and veggies to cubing cheese and chicken for charcuterie, they'll come in handy for everything. The French Chef's Knife is the monster of the Rada knife family - boasting a 8.5 inch stainless steel blade and a sturdy handle providing a comfortable grip, the total size of this knife comes to 13 inches. You'll blaze through slicing your watermelon or beef roast in no time! The Cook's Knife is also a great choice - its slightly smaller blade length (of 6.25 inches) is perfect for paring papayas or shredding salad greens.

An Edgy Choice for Your Kitchen

When bigger is not always better, Rada still comes through for you. The Cook's Utility Knife is a carbon copy of the Cook's Knife in a slightly smaller size. It really is the jack-of-all-trades for the kitchen: you'll literally always want this one in your hand! It's easy to control and great for big-batch chopping when you'll need a knife that won't tire your hand. Just like the French Chef's Knife and the Cook's Knife, this Cook's Utility Knife comes in two styles: one with a black resin handle, and the other with a silver satin aluminum handle, making it a sleek, monochromatic beauty.

Care to Pare? Try These Rada Knives If You Dare!

Be aware when you need to pare - Rada cutlery will do it's fair share! Three of their knives are specifically designated for paring and peeling. They're not just actors either - they truly are the most effective of the collection for preparing fruits and veggies. The Rada Peeling and Paring Knife is a mini masterpiece when you need to remove skins and peels from fresh produce, with a 2.5 inch blade that's surprisingly strong. Taking it to the next level, the Curved Granny Paring Knife provides a little extra oomph with the angled blade that not only adds convenience to your kitchen, but also class.

The Regular Paring Knife is bigger still; yet compact enough to slip into your kitchen drawers without disturbing all your other trinkets. Finally, the Super Parer Paring Knife does the trick for slicing larger produce such as bell peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, and melons. Build your own set of paring knives by picking up one of each or keep it simple by grabbing the Peel, Pare and Slice Knife Set with all the basic cutlery you need.

Here's the Deal, Rada Cutlery Will Perfect Your Peel

In case you're not fond of paring knives, but still need something to get under the skin of your fruits and veggies (pun intended), Rada's Produce Peelers are a great alternative. The standard Vegetable Peeler works well for both left- and right-handed cooks and is equipped with a swiveling, dual-edged blade that makes it possible to easily switch between peeling towards or away from you. Create gorgeous garnishes by shaving chocolate or butter to add to your dishes; or use it for peeling small to medium sized produce, such as carrots, potatoes, apples, and peaches. For larger fruits and veggies, the Deluxe Fruit and Vegetable Peeler will do the trick - corn, eggplant, and squash will be ready in a snap!

Meat the Rada Charcuterie Saviors - Rada Cutlery You Won't Want to Serve Without

It might sound cheesy, but building charcuterie boards will be a piece of cake with Rada cutlery - these knives will help you get the task done in no time. Rada knives are indeed pretty appetizing - the dual-function Cheese Knife is uniquely designed to glide through tricky cheeses that would otherwise break your wrist. Not only that, but the convenient prong that Rada added on the end of the utensil allows you to pick up and place your cheeses perfectly on your serving board. The Stubby Butcher Knife is designed for slicing through summer sausages and other choice meats, although we think you'll find it useful for many other chopping needs.

Rada makes our favorite Carving and Deboning Knife as well, for larger cuts of meat that require a little more care. To assist with that job, Rada created a Carving Fork that will grasp your scrumptious slices and keep the meat secure as you carve. (They are also available in a set - the Carving Knife Set takes all the guesswork out of what you'll need for preparing your meat spread!) The Rada 6 Inch Serrated Bread Knife will slice through baguettes and bagels with no fuss... and in case you make larger-than-life loaves, the 8 Inch version of the same knife will satisfy too.

Don't Just Take a Stab in the Dark, Rada Cutlery Makes the Mark

While individual Rada knives are each great in their own ways, they've also put together collections of knives that will have you set for whatever you need to prepare. The Kitchen Basics Knife Set includes the Peeling Paring and Serrated Regular Paring knives and also the Vegetable Peeler, so no vegetable has any excuse to go unpeeled. The 7 Piece Starter Knife Set with Vegetable Peeler and the 7 Piece Knife Set with Cheese Knife are nearly identical, but allow you to customize which add-on tool you receive along with the standard knives included. In addition, the 4 Piece Steak Knife Set is a dining must-have for meat lovers. Open up a world of possibilities with Rada Cutlery sets!
