Overview
Peeling fruit, trimming vegetables and other small hand-held tasks are the work of this regular paring knife from RADA. Its short stainless steel blade joins a cast aluminum grip.
The low weight and short blade give close control, and the lifetime guarantee covers defects. The listing does not say whether it is dishwasher safe, and its construction field disagrees with other RADA listings.
Who it's for
Home cooks who peel apples, hull strawberries and trim vegetables. Cooks who want a bigger knife for everyday slicing should add a chef's knife.
Pros and cons
- Light and nimble
- T420 high-carbon stainless blade
- Made in USA
- Care instructions missing
- Short blade only
- Construction field unclear
Performance notes
A short, thin blade turns easily in the hand, which suits peeling curved fruit. The hollow edge slices thin but dulls with hard use, so a quick hone helps.
