Project Review
Our team integrates with yours to serve as partners throughout the product life cycle, starting from the initial concept stage. Whether you have a new product idea or are looking to solve a current supply chain problem, the project review phase is an integral part of getting to know you and your project goals.
In our initial consultation, we analyze your business plan and collaborate to define clear goals and production timelines with full transparency. We will discuss your Intellectual Property concerns from the beginning and will incorporate them into our project strategy.
Industrial Design & Engineering
We focus on product functionality and price competitive costs without sacrificing quality materials and attention to detail. Our product team guides you through aesthetic, functional and material design options that lead directly into the 2D/3D CAD modeling process.
We optimize your designs specifically for manufacturing success using an engineering practice called Design for Manufacture (DFM). Our integration with established manufacturing partners and deep cross-category knowledge, results in a shorter product development lifecycle, reduced manufacturing costs and overall quality enhancements.
Prototyping
With design files, the prototyping phase transforms your concept into a physical object. Prototypes can be strictly functional, aesthetic or a combination of both. Prototypes should be done early and often. Our team has access in specialized prototyping materials and techniques such as 3D Printing, SLA and FDM, machining, urethane casting, pilot molds, soft tools and prototyping techniques for electrical, cosmetic and aesthetic features.
Based on the stage of development your product is in, we can help you build a prototyping plan. Then we can incorporate modifications of product designs based on testing and feedback that we get from all stakeholders. Lastly, we iterate based on these modifications by including many prototyping options to produce fully formed, functional and quality prototypes.
Main Processes for Manufacturing Kitchen Knives
After we finalize a blade, part, or component, we transfer the file to our CNC plasma cutter or to a laser cutting machine.
The blades are precision heat treated to a 58 to 62 Rockwell Hardness, depending on the blade design and function.
Bolster is welded to the blade. The bolster is a part of the handle that reinforces the junction between the blade and the handle.
Selected knife handle materials are cut, shaped and incorporated into each design.
Each knife is shaped, sanded, and polished using belt sanders, buffing wheels, and hand tools. The finishing process ensures comfort and balance.
This method of blade edging is utilized for the high class lineup. By doing the grinding pouring water on the whetstone, it is possible to avoid the production of friction heat and to increase greatly the smoothness and the cutting quality of blade tips.
QC AND Sharpness Test
