7-Inch Rada Slicing Knife for Turkey, Roast, and Prime Rib

The Rada Slicing Knife is the long, narrow blade you reach for when a holiday centerpiece hits the cutting board. A 7-inch hollow-ground edge sweeps across turkey breast, pork loin, ham, or prime rib in one clean draw, so slices come off thin, even, and photo-worthy instead of shredded.

Hand-sharpened in Waverly, Iowa from surgical-grade T420 high-carbon stainless steel, this American-made carving knife has been one of the original Rada patterns since 1948. Pick the silver satin cast aluminum handle for the vintage Rada look or the black resin handle to match the rest of your everyday knife drawer.

The Slice Is Right for Sunday Dinners

  • 7-inch hollow-ground blade - long enough to cross a turkey breast or a prime rib in one pass, so slices stay even instead of ragged.
  • Surgical-grade T420 high-carbon stainless steel - holds a razor edge through a whole roast without a mid-carve touch-up.
  • Hand-sharpened in Waverly, Iowa - each blade gets a real person on the grinding wheel before it ships to you.
  • Silver aluminum or black resin handle - aluminum is the classic Rada look (hand wash only), resin shrugs off the occasional dishwasher trip.
  • Total length 11 3/8 inches - balanced enough for smaller hands, long enough for a Thanksgiving bird or Christmas ham.
  • Lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects - Rada stands behind every knife they make, no receipts-in-a-shoebox drama.
  • Made in USA from American-sourced steel and handle materials - a rare thing at this price.

Also Great for Melons, Cabbage, and Big Fruit

Slicing knives are not just for carnivores. The long, thin blade is exactly what you want for halving a cantaloupe, shaving a red cabbage into ribbons for slaw, or getting clean rounds off a pineapple. If it is tall, round, or too big to muscle through with a paring knife, the Rada Slicer handles it.

Why Kooi Housewares Carries the Rada Slicer

Kooi Housewares stocks Rada because it is one of the last American cutlery lines still making a real 7-inch slicer at a real family-kitchen price. Rada has been running out of Waverly, Iowa since 1948, and after being acquired by St. Martin Holdings Company in 2024 they kept every knife on the same Iowa production line. That commitment to a small-town American workshop is exactly why we keep the full Rada line on our shelves. Questions on which handle to pick or how it pairs with a carving fork?

Product FAQs

What is the difference between a slicing knife and a carving knife?

A slicing knife has a longer, narrower, straighter blade built for one long draw across cooked meat, so slices come off thin and uniform. A carving knife is shorter with a bit more curve, better for working around bones and joints. The 7-inch Rada Slicer is a slicer-style blade, so pair it with the Rada Carving Fork or the Rada Carving/De-Boning Knife if you want a full carving set.

What size slicing knife do I need for a Thanksgiving turkey?

A 7 to 12-inch slicing blade covers most home turkeys. The Rada 7-inch is on the compact end of that range, which makes it easier to control for cooks with smaller hands or shorter cutting boards while still crossing a turkey breast in one pass.

Can I use the Rada slicing knife for brisket or prime rib?

Yes, and it excels on prime rib, ham, and pork loin. Full competition-length brisket flats over 10 inches wide are technically doable but a longer 10 to 12-inch slicer is the traditional pick for those. For everything else on a home holiday table the 7-inch Rada sits right in the sweet spot.

Is the Rada slicing knife dishwasher safe?

The black resin handle can tolerate the dishwasher, but Rada and Kooi Housewares both recommend hand washing to protect the blade edge. The silver satin aluminum handle is hand wash only.

Is the Rada slicing knife made in the USA?

Yes. Every Rada blade is stamped, hollow-ground, and hand-sharpened at Rada's family-scale facility in Waverly, Iowa, from American-sourced high-carbon stainless steel. Rada has been in Waverly since 1948.

How do I keep the slicing knife sharp?

The blade is smooth-edged, so a pull-through sharpener like the Rada Quick Edge is a great match. One pull sharpens both sides of the blade at the same time, so you do not have to flip it. Do not run smooth-edge Rada blades through anything designed only for serrated edges.

Product Specs

Relevant Dimensions: Blade Length: 7" / Total Length: 11⅜"

Material: Blade: Surgical Steel / Black Handle: Resin / Silver Handle: Cast Aluminum

Color: Steel/Black OR Steel/Silver

Made in: USA

Brand Headquarters: Waverly, Iowa

Care Instructions: Hand wash and towel dry immediately after use. The silver satin aluminum handle is hand wash only. The black resin handle can survive an occasional dishwasher cycle, but hand washing preserves the edge and finish on both versions - dishwasher heat and detergents can leave micro-dents in the blade over time. Store the knife in a block or on a magnetic strip to protect the hollow-ground edge. Sharpen with the Rada Quick Edge Sharpener or another pull-through sharpener designed for smooth (non-serrated) blades - one pull sharpens both sides at once, no flipping needed. Backed by Rada's lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
