The Main Processes of A Utility Knife

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 Utility Knife?
