Step into the world of Rada Cutlery, where our mission is to provide exceptional American-made cutlery. We put extra effort into sourcing everything exclusively from U.S. suppliers--that's almost unheard of today.
Our story begins in 1948. The war was over, and aluminum and steel were no longer needed for the war effort. A small family-owned business in Iowa repurposed those materials and began manufacturing aluminum handle kitchen knives.
Fast forward to today. A lot has changed, but we're still family owned, still handcrafting cutlery in the heart of the Midwest, and our knives have become famous. It's been a journey spanning more than 75 years, proudly bringing 100% American -made products to our customers.
Every one of our products is handcrafted in the heart of the USA, with materials only from America. Our strong heritage and Midwest values assure dependability you can believe in and sharp good looks you’ll be proud to have in your home.
For more than 70 years, we’ve been crafting knives that stand the test of time. Our blades are created with surgical-quality, T420 high-carbon stainless steel and each is meticulously hand-sharpened to a razor-sharp edge. We build each with the highest expectations… a lifetime of use, guaranteed.
Rada is incredibly proud to offer a superb fundraising program. Helping more than 12,000 groups a year raise money for a multitude of good causes gives us all kinds of warm fuzzies. Schools, churches, youth sports, women’s leagues, veterans’ organizations, fire departments, pet rescue groups, and scores of others all benefit from our remarkable products.
Fundraising groups make a 40% profit from every sale. Each group works directly with Rada—that means no middlemen or sales reps adding layers of additional costs. This allows us to keep our useful, everyday products priced at a great value, making them easy for groups to sell! Our fundraising groups hold Rada fundraisers over and over again for one simple reason–their supporters and customers keep asking for more!
