American Made Kitchen Cutlery and more
If you’ve had trouble finding American-made kitchen
cutlery, utensils, bakeware and other accessories at retail stores, maybe
you should try shopping online instead. Perhaps the first place you should
go is to www.radacutlery.com. Rada Manufacturing Company is American owned,
based in Waverly, Iowa, and all of their products are proudly made in the
USA.
Rada Cutlery has been making fine kitchen knives and utensils since 1948,
and all of their products come with a lifetime guarantee. Their cutlery is
made of surgical-quality, high-carbon stainless steel, and their
environmentally-friendly, cast solid, satin finish aluminum handles make
them comfortable and easy to use.
Browse www.radacutlery.com to find paring knives, steak knives, bread
knives, meat lovers’ knives, cheese knives, carving forks and ham slicers.
And if you’re concerned about keeping your cutlery super sharp, they offer
an American-made knife sharpener as well.
But we aren’t just talking knives here. Other utensils include vegetable
peelers, party spreaders, ice cream scoops, pizza cutters, spatulas, and
food choppers. Would you like your knives organized together rather than
ordering them individually? Then take a look at Rada Cutlery’s Oak Block
Sets. Rada Cutlery also offers American-made stoneware too, including pie
plates, loaf pans, rectangular bakers and baking stones.
By doing business with companies like Rada Cutlery Manufacturing, you’ll be
diversifying your dollars away from the big box retailers and into the hands
of smaller businesses that make America (and Americans) work. We should make
an extra effort to support smaller companies that employ Americans out of
the sheer pride they feel from making their wares in the United States. The
reason we usually don’t see the products of these smaller companies in
retail stores is because they don’t have the "corporate horsepower" to
attract retailers’ attention - nor can they sell their products at
rock-bottom prices that retailers demand to satisfy their greed for
excessively-higher profit margins.
This is at least part of the reason patriotic consumers have trouble finding
American-made goods in retail stores. Consider the recent squabbles between
America’s domestic furniture manufacturers and America’s furniture
retailers. Import tariffs were recently levied against Chinese bedroom
furniture to help protect domestic producers, and the furniture retailers
fought it all the way since cheaper Chinese furniture means higher profits
for them. The fury over furniture led to laughable rhetoric by furniture
retailers which could care less if American manufacturers move from assembly
lines to unemployment lines, including claims that tariffs interfered with
their "constitutional right to import." Luckily that attempt to read (or
write) something into our U.S Constitution that isn’t there was promptly
dismissed by a judge.
You can either order from Rada Cutlery online at
www.radacutlery.com or give them a call at 1-800-311-9691 or
1-319-352-0770.
