Compare real size, raw-stock thickness, steel-option and handle references, then develop the selected construction, authorised design, samples and protective presentation for your market.

  • Cover everyday preparation, bread, carving, table service and specialist kitchen formats.
  • Compare blade grades, handle constructions and real reference dimensions.
  • Develop single items or defined sets with samples, inspection and protective packaging.

Manufacturing, product documents and order conditions depend on the model and supply route selected for your project.

Explore the product range

Build the range
your buyers need.

Choose a focused product or discuss a coordinated assortment. Each direction can be developed into a more specific model and packaging brief.

Chef knives

Develop a general kitchen-preparation range with the desired size, blade profile, handle and actual steel grade. Compare grip, balance, finish and included protection on samples. Keep a consistent visual range while specifying the functional details and dimensions of each article.

Enquire about this range ↗

Santoku knives

Compare compact and larger santoku directions with the required blade shape and handle presentation. State the listed size, actual dimensions, edge and surface requirements in the quotation. A patterned or hollowed blade appearance is a design feature whose performance should be assessed on the selected sample.

Enquire about this range ↗

Paring, utility and peeling knives

Complete an assortment with smaller preparation formats, keeping plain and serrated utility directions distinct where applicable. Identify the task, size and profile needed for each item. Coordinate handle appearance without assuming identical material, thickness or hardness across every article.

Enquire about this range ↗

Bread knives

Add a serrated kitchen format with the intended size, blade profile and grip. Agree the serration geometry, steel, finish and care requirements on the actual product. Bread knives should have their own drawing and acceptance criteria within a matching set.

Enquire about this range ↗

Carving knives and meat forks

A serving and carving request can include the knife and a separate fork direction. Specify each item’s dimensions, handle and supplied quantity. Confirm whether the proposal is for individual articles or a defined pair, including the protection and presentation of both pieces.

Enquire about this range ↗

Steak knives

Develop table-service knives around the desired blade profile, edge style, grip and presentation. A set quotation should state the number of knives and any box or accessory. Agree the material and care instructions for the exact table-service configuration.

Enquire about this range ↗

Boning and cleaver directions

These kitchen formats need a task-specific blade and construction brief. Define the profile, dimensions, handle and intended food-preparation use, then request a sample for evaluation. Do not infer flexibility, impact suitability or another performance characteristic from a category name alone.

Enquire about this range ↗

Kiritsuke and sashimi kitchen formats

Compare specialist culinary profiles within a coordinated kitchen range. State the required dimensions, geometry and steel construction explicitly. The profile name does not determine the steel’s origin, the number of layers or whether the edge is single- or double-sided.

Enquire about this range ↗

Cheese and tomato knives

Specialty preparation and serving formats can add useful variety to an assortment. Specify the blade profile, any serration or forked-tip requirement and the intended presentation. Confirm the actual geometry and included pieces in the selected article proposal.

Enquire about this range ↗

Coordinated kitchen-knife sets

Build a set from a complete schedule of knife functions, listed sizes and quantities. Select the actual steel and handle construction, then decide whether honing, shears, a block or sheaths belong in the pack. Each component and its protection should appear in the approved bill of materials.

Enquire about this range ↗

Forged detachable kitchen shears

A detachable forged-shear direction offers a related kitchen accessory. Specify the actual steel grade, finish, cutting and auxiliary functions, assembly fit and cleaning instructions. Include the complete article in sample approval rather than relying on a raw-stock specification alone.

Enquire about this range ↗

Honing accessories

Select the working length, material, surface and handle of a honing accessory around the chosen knife range. Agree compatibility and care instructions in the technical file. A honing steel is an accessory and should not be described as an included component of every knife set.

Enquire about this range ↗

Blocks and magnetic wood sheaths

Review block-set presentation or a magnetic walnut sheath as separate storage options. Confirm fit for the actual blade dimensions, retention, finish and pack contents. Natural wood appearance can vary, and a storage picture does not establish that the displayed knives are included.

Enquire about this range ↗

Steel, handle and finish choices

Material options can be reviewed for the selected articles, including defined stainless grades, a specified Damascus construction and polymer or wood handles. State the required actual grade and component scope rather than using a general premium-steel description. Surface and care requirements should match that construction.

The inch values are listed knife or accessory sizes; confirm measured blade and overall lengths in the drawing. Millimetre thickness values above describe raw starting material, not the finished blade spine or edge. Hardness values are catalogue references to confirm for the selected grade and heat treatment. Alternative steels are choices for review, not simultaneous layers or a guarantee that every grade has identical performance.

What matters for this category

A better brief.
A clearer comparison.

Focus the sourcing conversation on the features, materials and production details that make a difference to your product range.

01

A complete kitchen-preparation assortment

Plan everyday knives, specialist culinary profiles, table-service pieces and related shears or storage together. A function-by-function piece schedule helps create an assortment that is useful to the intended customer and clear about every included article.

02

Material and heat-treatment requirements made explicit

Compare actual steel options, handle construction and the heat-treatment specification as part of selection. Request hardness and cutting-performance evidence for the exact supplied article. This supports a more meaningful comparison than relying on visual steel patterns or unqualified sharpness claims.

03

Single-item and set presentation

Develop individual products or a coordinated set with the required wooden-box, colour-box or block-set direction. Design and packaging can be reviewed alongside the articles, with authorised graphics, appropriate blade protection and a representative finished-pack sample.

Branding, configuration & packaging

Make the product
fit your programme.

Bring artwork, reference samples and a target cost. The available process, minimum quantity, sample charges and development scope are reviewed for the chosen option.

01

Blade and handle development

Submit your functional brief, drawings or samples with the required article list, dimensions, blade grade, handle construction and finish. Custom design can be reviewed for feasibility, tooling and sample stages. Agree ownership and permission for the design, together with the actual production specification.

02

Materials, appearance and branding

Choose material and finish options for the specific article, including a defined stainless or layered-steel construction and suitable handle direction. Provide authorised artwork and its position. Approve the actual sample, with material documents and appearance criteria that match the quoted option.

03

Protective and retail packaging

Specify individual, coordinated-set, wooden-box, colour-box or block presentation, with the exact piece count, protective components, labels and instructions. Request a pack sample and confirm carton quantities, dimensions and weights. MOQ, sample cost, tooling and timing are agreed for the programme.

Quality & product evidence

Turn requirements
into checks.

Agree which product characteristics need testing and how the approved sample relates to the bulk order.

01

Blade and assembly acceptance

Define grade, dimensional tolerances, profile, hardness requirements and the relevant cutting-performance tests. Inspect the actual handle and bolster assembly, finish and component fit. Catalogue values and a general test claim should be supported by the selected article’s current records where required.

02

Material and intended-use evidence

Request food-contact and other relevant material evidence for the blade, handle and surface treatment in the intended market. For wood, define species and finish documentation. General source badges or a report for a different knife do not establish compliance of every material alternative.

03

Storage, protection and pack completeness

Check blade protection, sheath fit, block stability, detachable-part retention and the approved pack contents as applicable. Agree inspection sampling, acceptance criteria, care instructions and transport protection for the actual item or complete set.

Test capability is a starting point for the inspection plan. Request the method, applicable model and results needed for your order.

Documents matched to the order

Ask for evidence
that fits the product.

Prepare the specification around the selected article and material option. Keep drawings, material descriptions, hardness or performance evidence, included accessories and packaging linked to the same approved product version.

State the sales market, intended users and required files in your first enquiry. Current validity and scope are checked for the selected supplier and product; a category description does not certify every item.

Share your document requirements ↗
Article and set specification
Request blade and overall dimensions, selected steel, heat-treatment and hardness specification, handle materials, surface finish and included components. For a set, list each article and quantity; for a sheath or block, confirm compatible blade dimensions and included knives separately.

Buyer questions

Before you send
your first enquiry.

Practical answers about this sourcing direction, customization and the reference options. Your agreed specification and written quotation determine the actual order.

Can I source individual knives as well as sets?

Yes. The range includes individual kitchen formats and coordinated set directions. Specify every article, listed size and quantity, with the actual steel, handle and finish selected. Blocks, sheaths, honing accessories and shears need to be listed explicitly if required.

Which steel options can be reviewed?

Specific references list 1.4116 (X50CrMoV15), 5Cr15MoV and a Damascus construction as alternatives. Select the actual grade and layered construction for the article. A steel name or pattern alone does not establish its origin, hardness or cutting performance.

Does the thickness mean the finished blade thickness?

The quoted 2.0, 2.5 and 7.6 mm values above are explicitly raw-material thickness references. They are not finished edge or spine measurements. Ask for the final drawing and inspection dimensions for the selected knife or shear.

How should I use the hardness references?

Treat them as listed values for product selection and confirm the target range for the chosen material and heat treatment. Request the applicable inspection or test record. A hardness number does not by itself establish edge retention, corrosion resistance or the complete knife’s quality.

Are Damascus knives all the same construction?

No. Specify the actual core, layer construction, material origin if required and finish for the selected article. The listed ebony-handle reference identifies Damascus steel and a 60 ± 2 HRC catalogue value; that specification should not be applied to another knife.

Can I request a different handle or custom design?

Send drawings or samples and identify the blade function, dimensions, steel, handle materials and finish. Feasibility, design rights, tooling, minimum quantities and sample stages are reviewed for the project. Approve the actual selected construction before production.

What packaging directions are available?

Individual and coordinated-set programmes can be discussed with wooden-box, colour-box or block presentation. Specify blade protection, piece counts, labels and instructions. Confirm the finished pack and any transport-test requirements with a sample.

Is the magnetic sheath universal?

No universal fit is promised. The walnut reference has outside dimensions of 23.2 × 6.2 × 1.1 cm, while usable internal fit and retention need checking against the actual blade. Confirm whether the offer includes a sheath alone or a specified knife and sheath.

Can detachable kitchen shears be included?

Yes, a forged detachable direction is listed with 1.4116 or 5Cr15MoV options and a mirror finish. Specify the actual required functions, assembly fit and cleaning instructions. Its 7.6 mm raw-stock value is not a complete finished dimension.

Are certificates or design awards included in the offer?

Request current evidence for the actual product and material option you intend to buy. Confirm the report holder, scope and article match. Source-company awards, patents and general badges are not presented as certifications of every item or as credentials of this sourcing service.

What are the MOQ, sample terms and lead time?

These are confirmed for the selected articles, steel options, quantities, design work and packing programme. Request current sample availability, costs and a written schedule. No fixed minimum or delivery period is applied to the entire knife range.

What should I include in a quotation request?

Send the knife functions, listed and required dimensions, quantities, selected steel and handle direction, authorised graphics and presentation. Add essential test, care, storage and market-document requirements. Identify every accessory and the intended shipment window for a comparable complete proposal.

Who handles my enquiry?

Factory Sourcing Hub handles this enquiry as an independent sourcing and trading service. The product route, supplier suitability, sample scope and order responsibilities are agreed for the actual project.

How do I get a price and order minimum?

Send the product reference, quantities per variation, customization and packaging. Prices, minimums, sample charges and delivery dates are confirmed in a current quotation; the page is not a live inventory or price feed.

Can I discuss samples and inspection before ordering?

Yes. State whether you need a reference sample, a customized sample or development work. Agree the sample cost and shipping, approval specification, inspection plan and remedy for non-conforming goods before the bulk order.

What should I attach to my email?

Reference images, drawings, logo artwork and a product list are useful. Include quantities, the intended users and sales market, packaging, required documents and timing. After submitting the form, email attachments to kunhuow@gmail.com with your enquiry reference.
