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).

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.
