I only use Rada knives in my kitchen! Rada knives hold an edge longer than any other hardware I’ve used. Some of my Rada knives are 30 years old and still do what they were designed to do. to do – and to do well!
30 years ago, my co-worker came to work with a Rada knife catalog that he was selling for the founder of his church. I’ve never heard of Rada knives, but I’ve had all 200 working women since. . They gathered in groups around the catalog and immediately began to fill out the order form. I couldn’t see what all the fuss was about, so I asked why everyone was so worked up about these Rada knives. The women couldn’t believe that I had never had the “cultivated silver safes” that “the best carvers ever made,” or that I didn’t know that they weren’t sold in stores and could only be obtained through rais-ers. . Not to be outdone, I ordered a chisel, but I clearly did not believe that these knives could be better than any other knife. My co-op fund-raiser raised over $2,000 from our workplace alone!
In two weeks, my Rada arrived preparing the knife and I had come to understand why the women were so hot to get them. It is the best knife I have ever used. I had my hand fit perfectly and was so sharp that I was really careful. The next time it was a beggar, I bought 4 different knives and I will continue to buy them wherever I can find them.
What makes Rada’s knife edge so good and so sharp?
According to the Rada site, “our carving knives are constructed using the finest carbon T420 High Carbon Stainless Steel results. There are two folds: First, the formula helps to sharpen our ability to apply an initial razor sharp edge to your tool, then the retention formula increases the ultimate property for you to use in your kitchen.” The feeling of it going as sharp and sharp as it went I stopped!
And “our blades are made of incredibly hard T420 Stainless steel that is hollowed and hand. Sharpened< /b>.People are amazed at how long the blades last – and how easy it is to resharpen the blade.
The Rada Knife handle is “permanently cast solid satin finished aluminum (which) creates a ‘good in your hand’ balance for superior comfort. Oh, the truth!”
The best thing about Rada Kinves is that there is such variety. There are short blades, long blades, proper blades, short handles, long handles, bread knives, butcher knives, and prep knives. A knife for every occasion. Also there are utensils – spinners, ice cream scoops, pizza cutters, veggie peelers, you name it; that I have AND THAT ALL WORKS ARE BETTER THAN THAT YOU WILL EVER HAVE.
The Granny Paring knife is my personal favorite in the Rada paring line. It has slightly downward curved shoulders and a shorter handle, which makes it great for my hand when peeling potatoes. And it’s prone to be perfect for circling and popping eyes.
Men’s favorite parer is the Heavy Duty Parer because of its longer blade and handle. His hands are much bigger than mine, so he needs a longer knife.
You won’t believe the Neapolitan pizza. You know how, with a regular box of pizza, you have to get your pizza saw all the way through the crust? Not with the Rada Pizza Cutter-one zip through and cut!
Rada veggie peeler is the only veggie peeler I have used. it is fantastic. The iron does not shake like other veggie peelers. Right and left handers can use it equally well. A strange saying.
Rada is a slicer wonder bread. “Antiphona buys” is not bread for my parents. Mom bakes bread once a week. Back in the 1980s, someone bought her an electric knife. It was as easy to use as a regular bread knife and only an electric knife was used to cut the home made< /a> bread. In 90′ he broke the electric knife. He bought another. Not the same, but the old set apart. It worked for another year or so, and then broke down again beyond repair. So I gave him the Rada Bread knife. He loved her. Now, unless Rada uses his bread knife, he made bread for his house.
And the piece to resist is the tomato knife. This baby can cut a tomato paper thin, no matter how soft the tomato is. You have to try it to believe it!
As I said before, Rada knives stay sharp for a very long time. But eventually they become less sharp (for they are never dull). Rada makes the best knife sharpener I’ve used. It sharpens any blade except, of course, serrated blades. My carpenter husband has a Knife Sharpener sharpened in his tool belt as knives go with the utility of dull cutting drywall.
There is one thing I will warn you about, though. Using a sharp blade is very simple, just “draw the blade through the wheels some time and as if by magic, the sharp edge is restored”. When I got my Rada Knife Sharpener, I ran my original Rada knife, which I bought from a beggar’s fund, which was on wheels for over 20 years at the time. It’s not like what he did. I thought, “Yeah, right. Just like s‘s a sharp sword.” then I, foolishly, ran the sword with my newly sharpened thumb. My husband took me to the emergency room for stitches.
So, even though it looks like your sword isn’t sharpened, believe me, it IS!
In addition to the fact that Rada knives are the best knives you will ever use, made, all in the USA! A single factory in Waverly Iowa produces all Rada knives. And here, in my opinion, is the most important part – from the Rada website: “Rada Cutlery is made in the USA and carries a Lifetime Guarantee. Rada Cutlery was first manufactured in 1948 as Fund raiser for churches. Over the years the line has grown to include various sizes of knives, utensils, and other related items as more business has grown in selling Rada Cutlery in its stores and fairs or flea markets the market of a few large customers.”
You won’t find these knives at Walmart or any big chain store. You can find them at a flea market or a small Mom and Pop store. Or you can order them through the Rada website.
Word of mouth is what keeps Rada alive and once you’ve tried a Rada Knife, word of mouth will be too!
