What is a Cook’s Utility? How does it compare to the French Chef?

The Cook’s Utility isn’t big, but it is mighty. Considered a medium-sized knife, the Cook’s Utility handles like a paring knife but is as versatile as one of our larger knives, like the French Chef. This is a favorite of people everywhere, whether they’re a beginner or well-seasoned chef.

What about the quality of Rada blades?

The hand-sharpened, razor-sharp edge of our surgical-quality, T420 high-carbon stainless steel blade ensures the durability of our knives. This specialized construction allows for easy at-home sharpening of smooth blades with Rada’s Quick Edge Knife Sharpener.

Why do I need a Cook’s Utility?

This knife cuts, slices, and dices zucchini, turnips, and oranges, but it won’t let anything stand in its way. Perfectly suited for serious cooking tasks, it’s strong enough for cutting through meat, yet gentle enough to cut crackers without crumbling them.

What handle styles are available?

This knife has two handle options. The silver handle is made from permanently cast silver brushed aluminum and has a satin finish. The black handle is constructed from black stainless steel resin. Both fit beautifully into any kitchen décor.

What knives do I need?

If you’re just getting started and don’t know what to choose, pick a paring knife, a serrated knife, and either a cook’s knife, utility knife, or chef’s knife – you can do a lot with those three. After you’ve mastered these knives, build on your collection.

PRODUCT WARRANTY The Lifetime Guarantee

Ready to Last a Lifetime

  • A dull knife is a dangerous knife! Keep your blades sharp. If Rada’s high-quality non-serrated blades need occasional sharpening, there’s no need for a professional knife-sharpening service. You can do it yourself in seconds with the modest but oh-so-incredibly effective Quick Edge Knife Sharpener.

  • Rada recommends hand washing all fine cutlery. Hand washing prevents microscopic dings on a knife blade’s cutting edge, eliminates the harsh environment created by a dishwasher’s high temperatures and abrasive detergents that will negatively affect its handle, and ultimately extends the life of the knife.

    While Rada’s black handle knives and utensils are more dishwasher tolerant than the silver handles, hand washing is still recommended.

    It boils down to this: When knives last a lifetime like Rada Cutlery knives do, you want them to remain in tip-top condition so you can enjoy them for a lifetime.

  • Since 1948, Rada Cutlery has been crafting knives that stand the test of time. The hand-sharpened, razor-sharp edge of the surgical-quality, T420 high-carbon stainless steel blade ensures that durability reaches our customers...for a lifetime of use.

    Every one of our products is handcrafted in the heart of the USA, with materials only from America. Our strong heritage and Midwest values assure dependability you can believe in and sharp good looks you’ll be proud to have in your home.

    Outstanding knives. Exceptional value. That’s the Rada way.

I bought a second one, because I use it daily. I'm tempted to buy a third. It's sharp and slices so easily. It's the one I recommend to anyone purchasing Rada for the first time, along with the knife sharpener. Great little knife whether you are just starting to cook or been doing it a while like me.
