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.
From Humble Beginnings
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.
Creating Lasting Quality Since 1948
American Craftsmanship
For more than 75 years, Rada knives have graced countless kitchens, becoming intertwined with cherished memories of holiday meals and family gatherings. This enduring legacy is a testament to the timeless value of great American craftsmanship. As a matter of fact, some of our original silver handle knives—the Regular Paring, Utility/Steak, and Slicer—are still in production today! Created with surgical-quality, T420 high-carbon stainless steel, each Rada blade is meticulously hand-sharpened to a razor-sharp edge.
Rada continues their unwavering commitment to customers all over North America as we provide that same made-in-the-USA quality in ALL types of kitchen products, from dozens of outstanding knives to commercial-grade pans and so much more.
We’re proud of our strong heritage and Midwest values that assure the dependability our customers believe in and expect… a lifetime of use, guaranteed.
Outstanding knives. Exceptional Value. That’s the Rada way.

Lifting Up Others
Our business was created with the mindset of helping others. In fact, the only place people could buy our knives initially was through a fundraiser! Rada is incredibly proud to carry on that tradition and 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. Priced at a great value, Rada’s useful, everyday products are easy to sell! Learn more about our fundraising program.
Many years ago, when the only “reviews” a product was going to get was through word-of-mouth, we found our biggest fans selling Rada products at flea markets across the U.S. They had discovered these incredible knives after purchasing from a fundraiser and spent their days making a living by spreading the news about how great they were. We love that passion! Flea markets, craft fairs, catalog sales, home parties, social media sales, locally owned stores … however entrepreneurs want to sell Rada, we’ve built the programs, materials, and systems to support them. Our success is their success, and their success is our success. Interested in learning more?
