Rada Kitchen Basics 3-Piece Set: A Paring Knife and Peeler Combo for Every Home Cook

Every kitchen deserves a solid starting lineup, and this Rada trio is the shortest route to prep that actually feels effortless. Two paring knives and a vegetable peeler cover most of what lands on your cutting board before dinner even starts.

The set pairs a standard Peeling Paring knife, a Serrated Regular Paring knife (grabs tomato and citrus skin without slipping), and a Rada Vegetable Peeler that handles carrots, potatoes, and butternut alike. Small tools, big reach.

Why This Little Trio Makes the Cut

  • Surgical-grade T420 stainless blades: hollow-ground and hand-sharpened in Waverly, Iowa, so your slices land clean instead of tearing produce apart.
  • Peeling paring knife (3-1/4 inch blade): the standard everyday paring knife for apples, potatoes, strawberries, garlic, and any small hand-work at the cutting board.
  • Serrated regular paring knife: saws through tight skins on tomatoes, plums, and citrus without pressing down and squashing the flesh underneath.
  • Double-edged vegetable peeler: works whether you push or pull, and the second side steps in once the first one starts to slow down.
  • Handle you get to choose: silver satin aluminum for the classic Rada look, or black resin if you want a more dishwasher-tolerant handle (hand washing still stretches the finish).
  • Lifetime warranty: Rada stands behind each blade against manufacturing defects for as long as you own it.
  • Boxed and gift-ready: arrives packaged for wedding showers, housewarmings, or stocking a new grad's very first apartment kitchen.

Small Blades, Serious Reach

Paring and peeling account for more knife work than most cooks realize, and getting these three right removes friction from any recipe that starts with produce (which is nearly all of them). If you're not sure which handle to pick, or you want to grow the set into a full block later, email us at support@kooihousewares.com and we'll help you plan it out.

Why Kooi Housewares Carries Rada

Rada Cutlery has been making knives in Waverly, Iowa since 1948. Even after St. Martin Holdings acquired the family operation in 2024, the blades still leave the same American factory with American-sourced steel and handles. Kooi Housewares carries Rada because it's a rare line where the price stays reasonable, the quality stays consistent, and the folks on both ends of the transaction actually answer their email. When a knife lasts your whole cooking life, you don't have to keep re-buying the basics.

Product FAQs

What is a paring knife used for?

Paring knives handle small, in-hand tasks that a big chef knife is too clumsy for: peeling apples, hulling strawberries, deveining shrimp, coring tomatoes, mincing a shallot, or trimming fat from a chicken breast. If a job needs a light touch and close control, it's a paring knife job.

What's the difference between a peeling paring knife and a regular paring knife?

A peeling paring knife has a shorter, curved (sometimes called bird's-beak) blade that hugs the surface of round produce like apples and potatoes, so you waste less flesh. A regular paring knife has a straight blade and is a better general utility knife for slicing, coring, and trimming on the cutting board.

Are serrated paring knives worth it?

For anyone who cuts a lot of tomatoes, citrus, grapes, or soft stone fruit, yes. The tiny teeth grab tight skin instead of squashing it, so the first slice cuts cleanly with no downward pressure. Most home cooks reach for a serrated paring knife more than they'd expect.

Where are Rada knives made?

Every Rada blade is made in Waverly, Iowa. Rada has manufactured cutlery there since 1948. St. Martin Holdings acquired the company in 2024, but production stayed in Waverly with American-sourced materials.

Can I put Rada knives in the dishwasher?

Black resin-handled Rada knives can survive a dishwasher, but hand washing is still recommended for the sharpest edge and the longest handle life. Silver satin aluminum-handled Rada knives are hand wash only, since dishwasher detergent will dull the finish.

Can you sharpen a serrated paring knife with the Rada Quick Edge Sharpener?

No. The Rada Quick Edge Sharpener is built for smooth (non-serrated) blades and sharpens both sides in one pull. Serrated blades like the serrated paring knife in this set stay sharp for years on their own and generally aren't consumer-resharpenable.

Relevant Dimensions:

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 washing is recommended for the whole set to keep blades sharp and handles looking their best. Silver satin aluminum handles are hand wash only; harsh detergent will dull the finish. Black resin handles will survive occasional dishwasher runs but hand washing extends the life of both the finish and the edge. Dry each piece with a soft towel immediately after washing to protect the blade and prevent water spots. Store in a knife block, on a magnetic bar, or in a drawer with blade guards.
