Man does not live by bread alone... there's t-shirts and caps, jams and hams, and knives to cut them with. On this page, we're offering some very special products that we hope will please our customers. As always, we stand behind everything we sell. If you don't like it, let us know - we'll do whatever we can to make it right.

Our quick index... Baseball caps Coffee mugs Cutlery t-shirts

While at the Farmer's Market, we discovered that many of our customers didn't have a decent bread knife. Maybe it was decent when they bought it, but that was years ago.

In order to help our customers, we researched bread knives and knives in general, and were very pleased when we discovered the Rada brand. These are very nice knives that are also very affordable. A friend who owns a bagel shop has been using one of their bagel knives for over 6 years. It's still in use while expensive European and Asian knives have been consigned to the dumpster. The Rada just keeps going and going.

When we tested knives, we found several brands that looked really, really nice. However, they didn't stand up to our in-house testing, and the edges just didn't last. So, while the other knives were less expensive, these are the ones we like.

Our farmers market customers seem to agree, as the knives sold well. While we started out with the bread knife and the bagel knife, we branched out and began carrying other knives as well. The tomato knife was especially popular - one woman purchased one and was back the next weekend to buy 6 more as gifts for friends!

All the Rada knives are made in the USA, hand sharpened, and guaranteed for life. We don't know how they can make knives this nice for what they are charging! If you are one of our bread club customers, we'll include the knife in your next order and refund the shipping charges.

Bagel knife - click on it for a larger picture Bagel Knife (blade 6", overall 10 1/8") Rada says, "The Bagel Knife's wide flowing serrations give you the ability to make nice even slices on loaves of banana bread, oversized bagels or English muffins." A very nice knife - many of our customers use it as their bread knife! $6.00 plus S&H.
Bread knife - click on it to see a larger picture Bread Knife (blade 9 1/2", overall 14") Rada says, "New & Improved Engineered with mini-serrations to effortlessly slice your fresh, homemade bread, cut garlic bread and all other types of bread. Many customers say it is their choice for slicing watermelon too!" We used this all summer at the market, and now it's still working wonderfully in our home. It's the nicest bread knife we've used! $9.00, plus S&H
Regular Paring Knife - click on the picture to see a larger picture Regular Paring Knife (blade 3 1/4", overall 6 3/4") Rada says, "The Regular Paring knife is our most popular knife. This is because it is the perfect size for so many cutting tasks such as quartering apples, cutting mushrooms, celery, and green beans- the list goes on!" Highly regarded by several cooking magazines, this is an excellent paring knife! We wouldn't be without it! $5.25, plus S&H
Super paring knife - click on it to see a larger image Super Parer (blade 4 3/8", overall 8 3/8") Rada says, "The Super Parer has the biggest handle and longest blade of all of our paring knives. It works great for dicing onions, cutting potatoes and red cabbage or slicing corn off the cob." We really like this paring knife for larger paring jobs, it makes an excellent partner to the regular paring knife, above. $6.00, plus S&H
Tomato Slicer - click on it to see a larger picture Tomato Slicer (blade 5", overall 8 3/4") Rada says, "Now you can cut perfect tomato slices every time. The blade of the Rada Tomato Slicer is specially manufactured with dual serrations to make sure every cut is straight and even. It also works for left-handers too!" This was one of our best sellers at the Farmers Market, with one person buying 6 to give away as presents! $5.25, plus S&H
Vegetable Peeler - click on it for a larger view Vegetable Peeler (blade 1 3/4", overall 7 1/4") Rada says, "Quite possibly the world's best vegetable peeler! The amazingly sharp blade makes peeling a joy. Both right-handers and left-handers love it! (Uses: peel carrots, potatoes and cucumbers, shave chocolate)." We were sceptical when we first started using this - after all, the blade doesn't swivel as much as a cheap grocery-store vegetable peeler. But, once we used it, we fell in love with it. It is SO sharp, peeling is almost effortless! $7.00, Plus S&H
