Manufacturing Performance

Steel Plate Stamping

Starting with a Strong Foundation: Our knife projects begin their life from a long bar of steel that we carefully select for the project.

Placed in a high-powered stamping machine, the blade form is then stamped out from the steel bar by our artisans, capturing the general form of the knife according to the desired dimensions.

Hole Punching

Precision at Every Step: Working with a durable punch drill press, holes are strategically punched on the stamped blades to where they will be needed upon assembly.

Typically, hole sizes for knife projects range from 4mm to 6mm in diameter, perfect for rivets and nails to be inserted later on in the production stage.

Straightening & Heat Treating

Ensuring Form and Durability: With the help of a straightening machine, the knife blades undergo a straightening process to ensure there will be no deformities or warping before heat treatment.

Then the blades are subjected to heat treatment, placing them into a heated kiln or oven to reach a certain temperature, retaining the heat, then quenched for cooling.

The process makes the blades retain their form and making them durable for regular use.

Water Milling

Achieving Detailed Edges: For knives requiring more detailed edges, our water milling tool brings them out perfectly, ensuring that each blade meets our stringent quality standards.

Polishing

Revealing the Brilliance: Using various polishing tools, the blade is subjected to polishing, revealing its stunning glow. This step ensures that the blade not only performs well but also looks exceptional.

Linear cutting

Precision in Each Slice: Our linear cutting process ensures that each blade is cut to exact specifications, maintaining uniformity and consistency across all our products.

Grinding

Smooth and Safe: All the rough edges of the blades are removed using high-powered grinders after this process, making sure safe use. This step is crucial for the comfort and safety of the end-user.

Stonewash

Adding Character: Our stonewashing process gives the blades a unique, rugged finish, enhancing both the aesthetic and functional qualities of the knives.

Bead blast

Textured Perfection: The bead blasting process adds a fine texture to the blade surface, providing a non-reflective finish that is both functional and visually appealing.

Razor sharpening

Cutting-Edge Sharpness: Blades undergo razor sharpening to ensure that they meet the highest standards of sharpness, ready for any cutting task right out of the box.

Logo engravement

Branding with Precision: We can add your logo or branding to the knives using laser printing, stencil printing, etching, silk printing, and pad printing, ensuring that each product carries your brand identity proudly.

Product cleaning

Spotless and Ready: Once the blade is properly beveled and finished, the knife is thoroughly cleaned, ensuring no residue or marks are retained on the knife. This step is critical for both quality assurance and presentation.

Machine packaging

Ready for Delivery: After cleaning, the knives are packaged accordingly based on your packaging preferences and prepared for shipping. Our efficient packaging process ensures that each product arrives safely and in perfect condition.
