- Sharp Blades – The key to why cooks love Rada Cutlery is our incredibly sharp blades – that stay sharp for a long, long time! Our blades are made from incredibly hard T420 Stainless Steel that is hollow-ground and hand sharpened. People are amazed by how long the blades hold their edge – and how easy it is to restore their edge when sharpening.
- Handle Styles – We offer two main handle styles. 1) The silver Brushed Aluminum handle has been offered since we started making knives in 1948. We recommend hand washing and hand drying. 2) The black Stainless Steel Resin (SSR) handle was introduced in 2007 and is the same size, shape and weight as our traditional aluminum handle (and has the same blade steel too). The black SSR handles were developed for improved performance in automatic dishwashers.

Easy
- When you request your fundraising information packet, you will receive the “Fund Raising Made EASY with Rada Mfg. Co.” booklet. You will find this to be a great introduction and provide you the details you need.
- We also encourage you to call or email with your questions. Our customer service team is located at our plant and prides themselves on being able to provide you answers to your questions!
- Your group will use the Rada Cutlery catalog and Order Takers to collect orders from friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, etc.
- Another option is to use our FREE Internet Fundraising option as a way to add to your overall sales. This is a good way to collect orders from out of state supporters.
- Some groups choose to sell at special events such as shows, bazaars or community celebrations. They purchase items that they want to sell and then set up a table to sell at these high traffic events.
- Orders can be placed by phone, fax, mail or by internet (once you call to have your account and password set up).
- We ship 99% of all orders out within 2 working days of receiving them. Our peak season is typically the middle of November to the middle of December. You will want to allow some extra cushion during that time of the year and remember that both weather and the speed of the postal mail can be factors too.
- We offer the FREE Simple Sorting when you sell over $1,000. To help you with distributing the order back to the salespeople, we package the items they sold together. To take advantage of this service, you either need to send back the completed Order Takers or use our new on-line entry option.
Profitable

- Your shipping costs start at just $5 and increment up, $10 for a $75 order and $15 for a $250 order, etc.
