Detailed Manufacturing Flow
01. Incoming Material IQC
Verification of steel certificates, handle materials, and hardware thickness checks.
02. Blanking / Waterjet / Laser
Nesting optimization for minimal waste and precise raw shape cutting.
03. CNC Milling / Drilling
High-precision profiling of blade and handle, weight reduction slotting.
04. Deburr & Pre-Grind
Smoothing edges while maintaining critical edge protection zones.
05. Heat Treatment
Vacuum hardening followed by tempering specific to alloy (e.g., D2, 14C28N, M390).
06. Straightening / Stress Relief
Correction of any warping post-heat treat to ensure perfect flatness.
07. Precision Grinding
Primary and secondary bevel grinding, establishing the blade geometry.
08. Surface Finish
Application of aesthetic and protective finishes (Satin, Stonewash, DLC, etc.).
09. Handle Manufacturing
Machining and finishing of G10, Micarta, Aluminum, Titanium, or Carbon Fiber scales.
10. Assembly
Installation of pivot bearings, scales, clips, and hardware in clean assembly cells.
11. Tuning & Alignment
Expert adjustment for blade centering, detent feel, and lockup percentage (20-60%).
12. Final Sharpening
Sharpening to specified angle, burr removal, and edge retention verification.
13. Final QA + Cleaning + Packing
Comprehensive inspection, documentation, cleaning, and VCI packaging.
