The steak knife set of 6 with the black handles where a surprise. They are plastic instead of the metal handles I’m use to buying, are they gonna hold up????
Response from Rada CutleryBy March 9, 2026
Thank you for your review. We have two types of handles, the hard resin for better dishwasher tolerance, and the permanently cast solid brushed aluminum with a satin finish hand wash only. You might want to try the aluminum handles on your next purchase. The hard resin handle does hold up as well with daily use.
I've bought Rada knives for almost 30 years and love them. I still have and use regularly my original knife purchases. I recently purchased more knives and utensils. I do wish Rada cutlery was dishwasher safe. In the past, I've put the knives in the dishwasher ---- the only issue I have is the discoloration and feel of the silver handles --- no apparent damage to the blades. Maybe Rada could come up with the same quality knife but totally dishwasher safe.
Shopping for these knives was simple and shipping was very quick and efficient. I am very happy with these SUPER sharp knives. The only issue that I have is the handles are small. I have severe arthritis in my hands and the small handle make them somewhat difficult for me to hold. This is no way a fault with the knives. Would purchase products again.
These knives are sharp - the way you expect a knife to be! I was thrilled to add these to my collection. The stainless steel handles are beautiful - hand wash to keep them looking great year after year.
They are of great quality for sure!! They cut through everything like a hot knife through butter!! They are priced at a good price! Very pleased with my knifes!! I would recommend buying some!!
