Rada Cutlery Knives Giveaway

Happy Holidays! This giveaway is part of the Gift Giveaway Bash. Check back daily for new giveaways,
Are you a knife person? Me, not so much. I’m not the best cook and I do not claim to have the best knowledge about the utensils that I use in the kitchen. So, I was more than excited when Rada offered to have me test out their kitchen knives.
Rada Cutlery offered to mail a package to me with a silver brushed Aluminum handle Cook’s Knife and black Stainless Steel Regular Pairing Knife. Really?? OK!
First, let me tell you about some of the utensils in my kitchen drawer. Can you say “Hand-Me-Downs”. Yep, pretty much. Most of what I own was either given to me or bought from our local Habitat Home Store for pocket change. A drawer full of mis-matched silver and you’re lucky if it will cut knives.
Time went by and “the package” finally arrived.
Getting the package was very exciting. As I opened it I was immediately shocked by the weight of the Cook’s knife. I carefully opened the protective packaging and was in awe of the actual quality of the knives. Remember, I’m not a great cook and my utensils are not name brand. This is very new territory for me to handle.
I hand off the knives to my husband and quickly flip through the catalog to see how much these knives actually cost. I was shocked!! After already telling myself that these knives probably cost a fortune I was shocked to see that the Cook’s Knife was less than $10.00 and the Regular Paring Knife was less than $5.00.
All this time I’ve been using hand-me-downs and at those prices I could have ones that would actually cut?
How did the knives work when put to the test?
After slicing through my kitchen scrubber when I washed it I immediately told myself that I better be careful because it is obviously more knife than I am used to using. Moving on from the scrubber incident I whipped out some cranberries leftover from Thanksgiving.
I whipped out some almonds to see if I could manage slicing something with a little more density. When I shaved slivers of that almond right down the side without any trouble at all I was enamored.
I’m sold at this point! Send me to cooking school cause this Mommie needs to learn how to cook with these things. Now, whether these awesome knifes can make my cooking taste any better, that’s another story.
Would I buy anything else from Rada Cutlery?
ASOLUTELY. I have a birthday soon and I’ve already circled several things in the catalog that I would like to have. Waiting that long and narrowing the selections down in another thing entirely.

I tried to cut a spaghetti squash with my big chefs knife. It would not cut and I was pushing so hard, the squash ended up slipping and flow across the room and made a big dimple in the wall.

One time I was cutting some vegetables with an older knife and the blade just snapped out of the haft. It surprised me, but nothing was hurt.

I have a pretty big scar from trying to pare apples with a chopping knife. It was a really stupid move but it was all I had clean at the time!

My latest scary story does not involve a knife but it was a blade (so hope that counts!) - my food processor blade and I had a disagreement and, needless to say, the blade won. I "won" stitches in my middle finger. Ouch.
December 8, 2010 at 8:23 PM
My scariest was when I cut off the tip of my finger (literally). It grew back but to this day I don't have a fingerprint on that part of my finger.

One day, I wanted sliced tomatoes with my lunch. I pulled out my tomatoes and my knife and got to work. Well, that didn't turn out so well. My knife just destroyed the tomato! I've been looking for a good knife ever since.

I used to work at a housewares store and the SCARIEST thing was when one weirdo had me open the knife case and was waving one around! We stopped carrying them after that.

My scariest knife story-I was slicing onions with a very sharp knife while talking on the phone. I forgot I was slicing. I ran out of onion and cut my hand really bad. garrettsambo@aol.com

Thanks for the giveaway...scariest knife story involved me slicing a bagel (and my hand) when I was about 10: copious amounts of blood that ruined a tray of bagels & put me off eating them for a few years !
