Overview
A 2-piece knife gift set from RADA Cutlery pairing a Super Parer and a Cook's Utility knife, both with T420 high-carbon stainless steel blades, hollow ground for sharpness, and cast aluminum handles made in the USA.
RADA builds its blades from T420 high-carbon stainless steel and hollow-grinds the edge, a process meant to help the knife hold its sharpness longer between sharpenings. The cast aluminum handles have a satin finish rather than wood or plastic, which is part of what makes this a gift-ready set, and everything is made domestically from raw material through final assembly.
- 2-piece set: Super Parer and Cook's Utility knife
- T420 high-carbon stainless steel
- Cast aluminum handles, satin finish
- Made in the USA
Who it's for
Good for someone who wants a small paired knife set as a gift, or a household that wants a parer and a mid-size utility knife without buying a full block set. Not a fit if a larger chef's knife is what's needed, since none is included.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Made in the USA
- High-carbon stainless, hollow ground for sharpness
- Two differently sized blades in one set
- Handles are handwash only
- No larger chef's knife included
Performance notes
The hollow-ground T420 stainless edge is built to cut through meat and to chop, dice, and mince vegetables and herbs, while the handwash-only aluminum handle keeps weight low for detail work like paring rather than heavy chopping.
