Rada Cutlery Granny Fork, Black Handle, Pack of 2

Rada has been around a long time. I've used many of their products and cannot recall ever being disappointed. The "granny" fork is one of my favorites. I use this for many stove top, broiler, BBQ and more, stick and flip needs. The Rada is solid. I can flip a serious size Porterhouse with no bend or deformity of the tines, fork, stem or handle. The rosen coated handle is new to me. Usually I get the milled aluminum handle. But, this is a keeper and being used daily.

When I was little, my Granny always used a fork just like this one for her "stove" work. Cooking with it all the time. When she passed away, my mother got the fork and also used it all the time, until she passed away. At that time, when it was my turn, one of the tines broke... I am sure from heavy lifting, but the fork had to be 75 years old. I had longed for the fork and never thinking they actually made them. So now I am a very happy camper. Fork is excellent. And I love it. I say "hi" to Mother and Granny, each time I use it. Phyllis

The tines are sharp, so you can test vegetables for done-ness. It has dishwasher safe handles and is made of stainless steel so they will last until you lose them (somehow my silverware slowly disappears).

We had an old Granny fork where then plastic handle was starting to crack off after nearly 20 years and were looking for a replacement. We studied the tine end for the most similar design. We liked the Rada design, but were concerned about the description of the handle. The fork comes in two 'colors' one of which is all metal. The black handle is NOT described in the product page, only the all metal one. It also wasn't clear from the description or photo whether the handle was round, oval, or flat. In fact, the black handle is resin molded over a full tang - you can see the end of the one-piece fork at the bottom of the handle. The tines are quite sharp, as other reviewers have pointed out. The tines are strong and hard - they do not bend easily like a cheap fork might. The one drawback we found, and why we rated this only four starts, is that the very top edge of the handle is very sharp where the oval narrows on both side of the fork. I used a file to round off this edge and dull it down so it didn't cut fingers. Under typical use this might not be a real problem, but we didn't like the sharp edge. This is a mold design error which the manufacturer should address. The price was a very good value for a set of two, and it's made in the U.S.A.!

just what I've been looking for. Leave it to Amazon to have items that people in stores in this city have never even heard of. The forks are as I expected them to be. Very useful for cooking. Best bacon turner ever.

We needed to replace a 60 year old cooking fork and this seemed OK to try. They are in some ways superior to our old one as we wash them in the dishwasher; the old one couldn’t go in. They are a good value and we recommend them.

I like these forks. I especially like that they can go into the dishwasher. I have another fork that I love except it has a wooden handle and it has to be hand washed.
