RADA Starter Gift Set S38 7-Piece Kitchen Knife Set, Silver — T420 High-Carbon Stainless & Brushed Aluminum Handles

The RADA Cutlery Starter Gift Set (S38) is a compact 7-piece kitchen knife collection with a quick edge sharpener, built from T420 high-carbon stainless steel and brushed aluminum handles for everyday prep.

This Starter Gift Set brings together essential blades for slicing, peeling and general kitchen work, plus a hand-held sharpener to keep edges ready. Each knife is manufactured in the USA from raw materials through final assembly, combining corrosion-resistant T420 high-carbon stainless steel blades with satin-finish, permanently cast brushed aluminum handles. The result is an attractive, durable set designed for home cooks who want performance without excess bulk.

What blades are included and what can they handle?

The S38 set contains seven different pieces that cover common cutting tasks—from peeling and trimming to slicing and carving. These knives are sized for everyday food prep and paired with a compact sharpener so you can quickly restore a working edge when needed.

• Paring and utility knives for fruits, small vegetables and delicate trimming.
• Chef-style or slicing knives for larger fruit, vegetables and meats.
• Dedicated knife shapes that make tasks like peeling, wedging and portioning faster and neater.
• Quick edge sharpener included to maintain blade performance between full honing sessions.

How sharp and durable are the blades?

The blades are crafted from T420 high-carbon stainless steel, chosen for its balance of edge retention and corrosion resistance. Each blade is hollow-ground for a fine cutting profile that delivers initial sharpness and good control for kitchen work.

• T420 high-carbon stainless steele for long-lasting edges and rust resistance.
• Hollow-ground blades for a finer cutting edge and reduced food drag.
• Manufactured in the USA to controlled quality standards from raw material to finished product.

What are the handles like and how do I care for them?

The handles are permanently cast from brushed aluminum with a satin finish that resists wear and maintains a polished look in the kitchen. RADA recommends handwashing only to preserve the finish and the integrity of the handles over time.

• Permanently cast brushed aluminum handles for a balanced feel and sleek appearance.
• Satin finish hides minor scratches and complements modern kitchen styles.
• Handwash recommended to protect handle finish and blade fit.

How does the included sharpener help between uses?

The quick edge sharpener is a small, easy-to-use tool designed for touching up edges after routine use. It won’t replace professional sharpening but is ideal for restoring bite to a blade so you can continue prepping without interruption.

• Compact size for countertop or drawer storage and travel-friendly use.
• Restores cutting ability quickly for smoother slicing and safer prep.
• Use periodically to extend the time between full sharpenings or service.

Who is this for: The RADA Starter Gift Set (S38) is a practical choice for someone building a first quality knife collection, gifting a new cook, or equipping a small household kitchen. It fits cooks who want durable, American-made blades with straightforward maintenance, a polished silver look, and a compact range of tools that handle most everyday cutting tasks.
