History Rada Cutlery was first produced in 1948, using surplus military knife blades then available at a fraction of their value. Early on, Rada utilized various buildings to meet their needs. One was a fortified military radar base used to monitor air space during the Cold War. In 1969, manufacturing operations moved to the current facility in Waverly, Iowa which has since been expanded.
