Rada Manufacturing is a company specializing in kitchen cutlery. They were established in 1948 and are based in Waverly, Iowa; their manufacturing is done in the United States.

Their traditional market has been community fundraisers and flea markets, though their products are also available online. The bulk of their product line is inexpensive stamped-blade knives, generally under US $15 per knife, though they also manufacture other kitchen-related materials such as stoneware and cookbooks. Their better-known products tend to have a signature style featuring highly polished, thin blades and brushed-aluminum handles.

Due to its fairly low profile, Rada products are not widely reviewed by consumer press such as Cook's Illustrated or Consumer Reports. They advertise themselves as being one of a very few wholly US-based cutlery manufacturers.
