The Main Processes of Kitchen Knives

Material cutting, straightening, heat treatment, welding, water grinding, sanding, sharpening, injection molding, logo printing, cleaning, assembly, inspection, and packaging. The key process for knives is heat treatment, which generally takes about 3 hours. The heat treatment time varies depending on the blade material. If the hardness is too low, the knife won't be sharp enough; if it's too high, the knife may easily break. Typically, the hardness for kitchen and dining knives is between 50-54 HRC. After heat treatment, the surface of the finished product has a layer of texture.

How to Choose a Kitchen Knife?

    Ceramic: Very sharp and lightweight, but can be brittle and may chip or break if dropped.
  • Q Blade Length

    Metal: Provides durability and a modern look but can be heavy and may become slippery when wet.
  • Q Balance and Weight

    A Balance: A well-balanced knife feels comfortable and stable in your hand. The weight should be evenly distributed between the blade and the handle.
    Weight: Heavier knives are better for tasks like chopping, while lighter knives offer more control for precise cuts.

    Curved Blade: Ideal for rocking motions, which are common in chopping and mincing.

    Straight Blade: Good for slicing and dicing with a back-and-forth motion.
