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.
Your marking on the blade, handle material and colour to your reference, and packaging printed from your artwork — or send a sample and we match it. Barcodes and hang tags included.
Options below ↓A pre-production sample in 15 days from confirmed specification. Sample charged at cost plus freight, refunded against the first production order.
See quality ↓Nothing goes into mass production until you sign off the sample. You inspect, or your agent does, at any stage.
See quality ↓Reports are ordered to your market's requirement — FDA food-contact, LFGB, heavy-metal migration, Prop 65 — through third-party laboratories.
Documentation ↓Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, and any inspection certificate your bank or customs requires.
Documentation ↓MOQ, lead times, Incoterms, payment terms and carton loading — the numbers buyers ask for first.
The numbers ↓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.

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.
| Tooling | Quoted against your order quantity — tell us the shape and the volume |

| Get the list | Current series and specifications on request |
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.
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:
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.
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.

| FDA food-contact 21 CFR 175.300 | Coated surfaces and resin finishes on blades and handles | Arranged per order |

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.
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.
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.
| Item | Standard |
|---|---|
| Minimum order quantity | 1,000 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 time | 15 days from confirmed specification |
| Sample cost | Charged, plus freight — refunded against the first production order |

| OEM / ODM | Available — blade, handle and packaging |
| Tooling / mould cost | A 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 |
| Packaging | Gift box, colour sleeve, EVA insert, display carton, bulk — made to your artwork |
| Carton & loading | Confirmed against the blade and the packing you choose — ask and we will calculate it for your item |

| Sample & tooling | Sample charged and refunded on the order · mould fee for a new profile quoted separately |

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.
Short answers to what importers usually check before they write to us.
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.
15 days after your specification is confirmed. Sample costs and lead time are quoted before we start.
