Know before you buy
No, the aluminum handle is not dishwasher safe. Hand washing with mild soap and drying immediately is recommended to prevent oxidation and maintain the finish of the handle.
The blade is crafted from high-quality, surgical-grade T420 high-carbon stainless steel. This material is chosen for its ability to hold a sharp edge and resist rust and corrosion.
The handle is designed with a contoured shape that provides a comfortable, secure grip. Its lightweight construction helps reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks like peeling or slicing large batches of produce.
While the high-carbon stainless steel holds an edge well, all knives eventually dull with use. Because of the blade's design, it is relatively easy to maintain with a standard manual sharpener or honing steel.
Rada Mfg. Co. guarantees their cutlery against defects in material or workmanship for the life of the product. This covers issues related to manufacturing flaws, though it does not cover normal wear and tear or damage caused by improper use.
