My knives have blackened handles from putting in dishwasher. Has there been a problem before?
Response from Rada CutleryBy March 9, 2026
Thank you for your recent review. Recent government mandated changes to phospate-free dishwashing detergents creates a harsh environment for metals, in particular our brushed aluminum handles. Handwashing all fine cutlery is recommended along with drying immediately as well. There is a product called Barkeepers Friend that you can purchase in your grocery store by the comet and ajax. It will help clean some of the dark off and hopefully get most of it off. If you have any other concerns, please give us a call at 1-800-311-9691.
These knives are a birthday present for my daughter. Her birthday is March 2. I am positive she will love them. My mother gave me a paring knife when I got married 55 years ago and I still use it!!
I found it very hard to turn to open can. This is the first product I have not been satisfied with. I love all the knives. I didn’t think the can openers was of quality.
