Rada Swivel Vegetable Peeler with Surgical Steel Blade and Black Resin Handle

Some tools quietly earn their spot in the drawer, and this little Rada peeler is one of them. The 1¾-inch surgical-grade T420 stainless blade swivels with the curve of the vegetable, so peels come off in thin, easy ribbons instead of stubborn chunks.

The lightweight handle finishes it off with a real grip advantage. Choose black stainless-steel resin for a slightly grippier feel with damp hands, or brushed silver aluminum for the classic Rada look you have probably seen on your grandmother's counter.

Peel-good Reasons This One Earns Drawer Space

  • Swiveling dual-edge blade: follows the shape of potatoes, carrots and cucumbers so you waste less produce and less prep time.
  • Right- or left-handed friendly: the symmetrical head peels toward or away from you with equal ease, so lefties finally get a fair shake at the cutting board.
  • Sharp T420 high-carbon stainless: the same surgical-grade steel Rada uses on its knives, hollow-ground and hand-sharpened so it actually cuts instead of dragging.
  • Pointed tip for potato eyes: the little nib on the end pops out sprouts, bruises and stem ends without hunting for a paring knife.
  • Great for garnish work: shave chocolate curls, butter ribbons, Parmesan strips or long lemon zests without breaking out a separate tool.
  • Fruit-friendly: apples, peaches, pears and even firm-ripe mangoes peel cleanly thanks to the shallow scoop of the blade.
  • Compact 7¼-inch total length: tucks into any utensil crock, drawer organizer or camper-van kitchen.
  • Made in Waverly, Iowa: American steel, American assembly, backed by Rada's lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

A Small Tool That Makes a Big Difference on Prep Night

If your current peeler has you sawing at a carrot or scraping potato skin off in stubborn shreds, that is not a you problem, it is a dull blade. A sharp swivel peeler like this Rada takes the daily prep tax out of soups, roasts, mashed potatoes and lunchbox apple slices. And when the edge eventually softens years down the road, a couple of passes through the Rada Quick Edge Sharpener puts the bite back in.

Why Kooi Housewares Carries the Rada Vegetable Peeler

Kooi Housewares has stocked Rada Cutlery for as long as we have had a storefront. Rada has been making blades in Waverly, Iowa since 1948, and after the family sold the company to St. Martin Holdings in 2024, production stayed in that same Waverly plant with the same crew hand-sharpening every blade. All materials come from American suppliers and everything ships covered by Rada's lifetime warranty. Honest little tool, honest company, priced like a peeler should be.

Product FAQs

How do you sharpen a Rada vegetable peeler?

The Rada peeler blade is surgical-grade T420 stainless and holds an edge for years of normal home use. When it does soften, run it through a pull-through sharpener designed for smooth-edge blades, such as the Rada Quick Edge Sharpener, which sharpens both sides of the blade in a single pass. Do not use a serrated-blade sharpener on it.

Is the Rada vegetable peeler made in the USA?

Yes. Every Rada peeler is assembled at the Rada factory in Waverly, Iowa, using steel and handle materials sourced from American suppliers. Rada has been making blades in Waverly since 1948.

Can left-handed people use this peeler?

Yes. The swiveling head is symmetrical and dual-edged, so it peels equally well toward or away from you and works the same in a right or left hand. It is one of the few peelers that does not force lefties to reverse their grip.

What is the difference between a swivel peeler and a Y peeler?

A swivel peeler like this Rada has a straight handle in line with the blade and is used with a paring-knife-style grip, which most home cooks find natural for potatoes, carrots and apples in the hand. A Y-peeler has a horizontal blade across the top and is often faster for peeling long strokes on a cutting board. Many kitchens keep one of each.

Can you use this peeler on fruit as well as vegetables?

Yes. The 1¾-inch blade handles apples, peaches, pears, mangoes and even tomatoes as well as it handles potatoes and carrots. The pointed tip is also useful for coring apples and pulling stems out of strawberries.

What is the black handle made of?

The black handle is a stainless-steel-toned resin, which gives it a slightly grippier feel than the aluminum version, especially with wet hands. The silver handle is cast brushed aluminum.
Product Specs

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 with warm soapy water and dry immediately. The dishwasher can be very hard on cutlery, leaving micro-dents in the blade and dulling the edge faster, so hand washing is strongly recommended for both handle finishes. Do not soak. If the blade ever softens after years of use, refresh it with a pull-through sharpener for smooth-edge blades, such as the Rada Quick Edge Sharpener, which sharpens both sides in one pass. Store in a drawer, utensil crock or knife block so the swivel head is protected.
