What we handle for the order

Sampling, production follow-up, inspection and export paperwork — the parts that decide whether an order lands on time.

Knives are the product. These are the services around it — the parts that decide whether an order arrives on time, to specification and without surprises at customs.

01Customisation

Your brand on every part

Blade, handle and packaging are all made to your specification — or matched from a sample you send us. Nothing here is picked off a shelf.

PartOptions
Blade faceYour logo, brand or text by etching or laser marking · surface finish — polished, mirror, hammered (tsuchime), burst hammered, coating · item code and country-of-origin marking
HandleMaterial — PP · ABS · pakkawood · wood · composite · colour matched to any Pantone reference · shape, contour and thickness · rivet style, bolster, end cap · logo on the handle
PackagingGift box, colour sleeve, EVA insert, display carton or bulk · printed with your artwork · barcode, hang tag, care leaflet

Match a product you already buy

Sample-based

Send a physical sample, a technical drawing, or photographs with dimensions. We measure it, quote a matching build, and send our version back to you as a sample in 15 days.

Start from our own designs

Ready to brand

The factory develops its own knife shapes, handle builds and packaging. Take one as it is, put your marking and your box on it and you are in the market. Minimum order quantities apply and are confirmed with your quotation.

Nothing here is a fixed specification. Send a sample, a photo or a drawing and we will tell you what can be matched and what cannot — before you commit to an order.

Quality you can check

The factory's production standards were built on OEM programmes for European brand names, and every order here is held to that bar. Three things go in writing on every order, so you can check them for yourself:

  1. Sample first — we have a pre-production sample made and send it to you. Nothing goes into mass production until you sign it off.
  2. You inspect, or your agent does — come to the factory, or appoint a third-party inspection company. We will arrange access at any stage.
  3. Photos before the vessel sails — finished goods, carton labels and the loaded container, sent to you before shipment.

If the goods do not match the approved sample, tell us before shipment. Catching it there is cheaper for both of us than catching it in your warehouse.

02Compliance

Test documentation for food-contact products

Nothing here is pre-issued. Reports are ordered against the specific item and the market you are selling into — tell us what is required and the applicable test is carried out by a third-party laboratory.

Factory audit — requested by some retail and brand buyersFactory audited
Testing laboratoriesSGS · Intertek · BV · CTI — report copy supplied with the order documents

How the report reaches you. The full report is issued for the item you order, and a copy is supplied with the order documents — on hand when your customs broker or retail buyer asks for it.

Export documents

Commercial invoice · packing list · bill of lading · certificate of origin · insurance certificate on request · inspection certificate when your bank or customs requires one.

Shipments move through a licensed freight forwarder, who files the export declaration and handles the carrier documents. Send us the destination port and, if you already work with one, your forwarder — we deliver to their warehouse and the shipment is booked in your name. If you do not have a forwarder, we will source one and quote the freight alongside the goods.

03Parameters

The numbers buyers ask for first

Order parameters first, then trade terms. If something you need is not listed, ask — most of it can be arranged, and it is better to settle it before the order than after.

ItemStandard
Minimum order quantity1,000 pcs per order, counted by the piece · a five-piece set at 200 sets reaches the minimum (200 × 5 = 1,000) · mix any models freely in one order · sets are counted by their contents — a five-piece set adds five · orders under 1,000 pcs carry a mold (tooling) fee · single sample pieces available against a sample and freight charge
Sample lead time15 days from confirmed specification
Sample costCharged, plus freight — refunded against the first production order
Production lead timeConfirmed against your order — it moves with the quantity, the blade types and the packing. Typically 30–45 days after deposit and artwork approval.
OEM / ODMAvailable — blade, handle and packaging
Tooling / mould costA new blade profile needs a mould, quoted per project and borne by the buyer. On shapes already in production we simply quote the knife — price and terms follow the order quantity
PackagingGift box, colour sleeve, EVA insert, display carton, bulk — made to your artwork
Carton & loadingConfirmed against the blade and the packing you choose — ask and we will calculate it for your item
ConsolidationYour choice. LCL (consolidated) for small volumes, a full container when the volume justifies it, or delivery to a forwarder you nominate. LCL is charged on weight or volume, whichever is greater.
Loading portShenzhen / Ningbo · others as required

Trade terms

FreightYour forwarder preferred — we clear the goods for export and deliver to their warehouse in China. No forwarder of your own? We appoint one and handle the booking — one price covering the goods and the China-side charges.
Lead timeConfirmed against the order quantity; typically 30–45 days after deposit received and packaging artwork approved
Sample & toolingSample charged and refunded on the order · mould fee for a new profile quoted separately
PricesQuoted per specification. Blade, handle, marking and packing decide the price — there is no fixed unit price list.
HS codes8211.10 · 8211.92 · 8213.00 · 8214.90

Why there is no price on this site. A knife price is decided by the blade profile, the steel grade you nominate, the handle material and colour, whether the blade is marked, and how it is boxed — and then by the quantity. Two orders of the same blade at the same volume can differ by more than the blade itself costs. Send the specification and you get a real number on your configuration, usually within one business day.

04FAQ

Questions buyers ask first

Short answers to what importers usually check before they write to us.

What is your minimum order quantity?

1,000 pieces per order, and models can be mixed across blade types. Knife sets count by the knives inside - a five-piece set at 200 sets already reaches the minimum. Orders under 1,000 pcs carry a mold (tooling) fee.

How long does sampling take?

15 days after your specification is confirmed. Sample costs and lead time are quoted before we start.

Are you a factory or a trading company?

Yuanze is a factory-direct exporter working with a manufacturing partner in Yangjiang, so buyers deal with one trading link instead of two.

Can you put our brand on the knives?

Yes. Laser logo marking, custom packaging, and options on steel grade, handle material and blade finish - polished, mirror, hammered tsuchime or coating.

What are your payment and trade terms?

We quote FOB. Standard payment is 30% T/T deposit with the balance before shipment.

Do you provide test documentation?

Yes - test documentation for food-contact products is available, and quality is checked at each production step before packing.

How do you pack and ship?

Knives are boxed, cartons are palletised and ready for container loading. Shipping is arranged per order.

How do I get a quote?

Send your specification through the contact page or WhatsApp: blade types, quantities, steel, handle, finish and packaging. You get a written quotation back.

Send us your specification

Item, quantity, handle and packaging requirements, target market and destination port. You will get a price, the MOQ and a lead time back — usually within one business day.
