Rada Super Parer: The Large Paring Knife Built for More Than Small Jobs

The Rada Super Parer is the biggest paring knife in the Rada Cutlery lineup, with a 4-3/8-inch hollow-ground blade and an 8-3/8-inch total length. It sits between a standard paring knife and a cook's utility knife, which covers the jobs that are too big for a regular paring knife but do not need the reach of a utility knife.

Hand-sharpened in Waverly, Iowa from T420 surgical-grade stainless steel, this American-made paring knife handles apples, onions, boneless chicken breasts, small squash, and every "the big knife is overkill" job in between.

A Cut Above Your Average Parer

  • 4-3/8-inch hollow-ground blade - long enough to halve a bell pepper or trim a chicken breast without hopping to a chef's knife.
  • Surgical-grade T420 high-carbon stainless steel - takes a razor edge and holds it through years of daily prep.
  • Hand-sharpened in Waverly, Iowa - every blade is put to a wheel by a real person before it ships, not spat out of a machine.
  • Your pick of handle - cast aluminum in silver satin (the vintage Rada look grandma used) or molded black resin (the modern, dishwasher-tolerant option).
  • Full tang construction - blade runs the length of the handle so the knife feels balanced, not tippy, when you're bearing down on a squash.
  • All-American materials - Rada sources steel, aluminum, and resin from U.S. suppliers, so this is truly Made in USA, not just assembled here.
  • Lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects - Rada has been building these since 1948, and they stand behind every one.

Small Knife, Big Range

Most home cooks reach for a paring knife more than any other blade in the drawer. The Super Parer stretches that range further, so you're not switching to a bigger knife every time a job creeps past "small." Pair it with the Rada Quick Edge Sharpener and the blade holds an edge through daily prep. The lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects for the life of the knife.

Why We Carry Rada at Kooi Housewares

We stock Rada Cutlery at Kooi Housewares because the price stays low, the blade is American-made, and the lifetime warranty is real. Rada is still a family-scale operation in Waverly, Iowa (they were acquired by St. Martin Holdings Company in 2024, but manufacturing stayed put). The blades are hollow-ground and hand-sharpened, the price stays reasonable, and the lifetime warranty is real. That's the exact combination we're happy to put our name on.

Product FAQs

What is a Rada Super Parer used for?

The Super Parer is Rada's largest paring knife, with a 4-3/8-inch blade. It handles jobs that are a little too big for a standard 3-inch parer but too small for a chef's knife: halving apples, trimming boneless chicken breasts, slicing a bell pepper, quartering small potatoes, and peeling squash.

How big is the Rada Super Parer?

The blade is 4-3/8 inches long and the knife is 8-3/8 inches overall. That's roughly an inch longer than Rada's regular paring knife, and about an inch shorter than the Cook's Utility Knife.

Are Rada knives made in the USA?

Yes. Every Rada blade is stamped, hollow-ground, and hand-sharpened in Waverly, Iowa, using American-sourced steel, aluminum, and resin. Rada has been making knives there since 1948.

Can Rada knives go in the dishwasher?

The black resin handle is dishwasher-tolerant, but Rada (and we) still recommend hand washing. The silver aluminum handle is hand wash only - dishwasher detergent oxidizes aluminum and can leave your hands stained gray. Either way, dry the blade right away so the edge stays sharp.

How do you sharpen a Rada Super Parer?

Rada's smooth-edge blades sharpen beautifully on the Rada Quick Edge Sharpener. It's a pull-through with two hardened steel wheels that hit both sides of the blade in one pass, so you don't have to flip the knife. Six to ten pulls brings a dulled edge right back.

What's the difference between the Super Parer and the regular paring knife?

Size and reach. The regular paring knife has a ~3-1/4-inch blade for detail work (hulling strawberries, deveining shrimp, cutting eyes out of potatoes). The Super Parer's 4-3/8-inch blade lets you make longer, straighter cuts through bigger produce without switching to a chef's knife.

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

Color: Steel/Black OR Steel/Silver

Made in: USA

Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry the blade immediately after use to protect the edge. The silver satin (cast aluminum) handle is hand wash only - dishwasher detergent oxidizes aluminum and can leave a gray residue on your hands. The black resin handle is dishwasher-tolerant, but hand washing extends the life of any knife. Do not soak. Sharpen on a Rada Quick Edge Sharpener as needed - this smooth-edge blade is designed to be resharpened, not disposable.
