Why Choose Our Knife Manufacturing Process?

FAQ – Knife Production & Delivery

When sourcing kitchen knives, butcher knives, or outdoor knives for your business, the supplier's process is just as important as the product itself. A structured workflow ensures quality, consistency, and on-time delivery.

At SAAFI, we follow a nine-step knife manufacturing process designed for OEM, ODM, wholesale, and private label projects. Whether you're ordering 200 or 20,000 knives, our system ensures that every product meets your specifications.

Our Nine-Step Knife Manufacturing Process

Step 1: Order Confirmation – Setting the Foundation

Once your knife order is placed, we issue a detailed Order Confirmation including:

- Model, size, and blade material (e.g., 9Cr stainless steel, Damascus steel)

- Handle material (e.g., plastic, wood, soft-grip TPR)

- Quantity and delivery timeline

- Payment terms

This early alignment prevents costly misunderstandings later in the process.

Step 2: Order Verification & Internal Notification

Our operations team verifies technical feasibility and coordinates with:

- Production Department – for raw material preparation

- QC Department – for quality checkpoints

- Logistics Department – for packaging and shipping schedules

This ensures every department is ready before production begins.

Order Confirmation

Step 3: Sample Production & Confirmation

For custom knives or large orders, we produce a sample to confirm:

- Blade sharpness and balance

- Handle ergonomics and color finish

- Branding elements such as laser engraving or packaging design

Only after your written approval do we proceed to mass production.custom knife order process

Step 4: Production Tracking – Transparency at Every Stage

Our production tracking system lets us monitor:

- Blade forging and heat treatment

- Handle molding and assembly

- Final sharpening and polishing

We provide weekly updates or on-demand status reports so you can track your order in real time.

Step 5: Pre-Packaging Quality Inspection & Testing

Before knives are packed, our QC team checks:

- Sharpness test: Ensuring blades meet cutting performance standards

- Handle strength test: Verifying durability under pressure

- Visual inspection: Looking for scratches, chips, or defects

- Weight & balance test: Confirming consistent feel across batches

This guarantees that only defect-free products proceed to packing.

We handle international knife shipping by:

- Sea freight for large orders

- Air freight for urgent shipments
