The Extraordinary Value of the Cook's Knife
DESCRIPTION
Our Cook’s Knife is one of those knives that’s just plain fun to use. It’s perfectly sized for easy control while you chop the daylights out of almost any kind of food, from garlic and veggies to a chunk of meat or your favorite dessert. You’ll love having this versatile knife in your kitchen.
RECOMMENDED USES
The Cook’s Knife easily cuts through meat like it’s butter; chops, dices, and minces veggies and herbs for a big pot of soup or a casserole; and slices through cakes, brownies, and just about anything else you can dream up. We think every cook deserves the Cook's Knife! We know you'll agree.
BLADE
To assure our customers get the best knives available, all Rada blades are crafted from surgical-quality, T420 high-carbon stainless steel for a lifetime of durability then hollow ground for incredible sharpness. Designed with frequent use in mind, non-serrated, hollow-ground blades can be easily re-sharpened to achieve a like-new blade again and again. For easy at-home sharpening, check out Rada’s Quick Edge Knife Sharpener.
HANDLE
This knife has two handle options. The silver handle is made from permanently cast brushed aluminum and has a satin finish. The black handle is constructed from stainless steel resin. Both are incredibly durable and fit beautifully into any kitchen décor.

A dull knife is a dangerous knife! Keep your blades sharp. When Rada’s high-quality non-serrated blades need sharpening, there’s no need for a professional knife-sharpening service. You can do it yourself in a matter of seconds with the modest but oh-so incredibly effective Quick Edge Knife Sharpener.

Rada recommends hand washing all fine cutlery. Hand washing prevents microscopic dings on a knife blade’s cutting edge, eliminates the harsh environment created by a dishwasher’s high temperatures and abrasive detergents that will negatively affect its handle, and ultimately extends the life of the knife.
While Rada’s black handle knives and utensils are more dishwasher tolerant than the silver handles, hand washing is still recommended.
It boils down to this: When knives last a lifetime like Rada Cutlery knives do, you want them to remain in tip-top condition so you can enjoy them for a lifetime.
-
Since 1948, Rada Cutlery has been crafting knives that stand the test of time. The hand-sharpened, razor-sharp edge of the surgical-quality, T420 high-carbon stainless steel blade ensures that durability reaches our customers...for a lifetime of use.
Every one of our products is handcrafted in the heart of the USA, with materials only from America. Our strong heritage and Midwest values assure dependability you can believe in and sharp good looks you’ll be proud to have in your home.
Outstanding knives. Exceptional value. That’s the Rada way.

Love this knife!
I was very pleasantly surprised with this knife! I should've known as my mother gave me a couple of knives when I got married many years ago. I have been using a different knife and am so mad at myself for waiting so long to order this! I love it.
