MANUFACTURING PROCESS
From Raw Material to Finished Product
Every step is precision-controlled for consistent quality.
Raw Material Inspection
Steel, handle scales, liners, screws, sheaths, and accessories are inspected before production. Hardness potential, material grade, surface defects, and component fit are checked for outdoor-use reliability.
Steel Blanking & Forging
Blade blanks are cut, forged, or CNC-shaped according to the tactical, hunting, survival, or EDC design. The stage controls profile accuracy, tang structure, lock geometry, and batch repeatability.
Heat Treatment
Blades are quenched and tempered to reach the specified hardness and toughness balance. Controlled heat treatment is critical for edge retention, impact resistance, and credible hard-use performance.
Grinding & Polishing
Grinding, bevel shaping, surface finishing, and polishing define the blade geometry and final appearance. Operators manage edge symmetry, grind lines, coating preparation, and surface consistency.
Handle Assembly
Handles, pivots, liners, screws, clips, or sheaths are assembled according to the approved structure. Riveting, fastening, locking action, and ergonomic fit are checked for safe field-ready handling.
Quality Control
QC verifies dimensions, blade centering, lock function, edge sharpness, handle stability, and finish quality. Functional testing helps prevent unsafe assembly, loose hardware, and inconsistent outdoor performance.
Pre-shipment Inspection
Finished goods are audited against the purchase order, approved sample, packaging requirements, and compliance notes. Buyer inspection or third-party testing can be coordinated before release.
Export Packaging
Knives are packed with rust-prevention, tip protection, sheath protection, inserts, cartons, and export labels. The goal is to protect sharp products during transport while keeping retail presentation controlled.
