Custom hand knives are precision cutting tools made from high‑carbon, stainless, or PM steels and shaped through grinding and heat treatment. Used in packaging, leather, food, plastics, and industrial trimming, they provide durable, accurate manual cutting performance.
Custom hand knives are manually operated cutting tools engineered for specialized industrial, craft, and processing applications. Their manufacturing process typically involves precision blanking or forging of the blade profile, followed by heat treatment to achieve the required hardness and toughness. Grinding and honing operations define the cutting geometry, including bevel angle, edge radius and blade curvature. Common blade materials include high‑carbon tool steels, stainless steels, powder‑metallurgical steels, and carbide‑tipped edges for high‑wear environments. Handles are produced from wood, polymers, aluminum, or composite materials and are ergonomically shaped for safe, repetitive use. Tooling for production involves CNC grinders, waterjet or laser cutting systems, heat‑treatment furnaces, and surface‑finishing equipment. Custom knives are widely used in packaging, leatherworking, food processing, plastics trimming, rubber cutting, textiles, and general maintenance tasks where controlled manual cutting, precision, and durability are required.

Citește mai multBÖHLER N360 is a corrosion resistant, martensitic stainless steel, produced using the pressurized-ESR-process ( P-ESR) . Compared to conventionally produced Cr and CrMo steels, BÖHLER N360 offers improved corrosion resistance and toughness properties as well as high hardness and compressive strength. It is typically used for anti-friction bearing components e.g. bearings, ball screws and wear resistant components for use in the engineering and medical industry, e.g. knives and other cutting tools, shafts, plastic extrusion, screw driver, drills, fasteners and engine-components, requiring resistance to both corrosion and wear with hardness not lower than 58 HRC after hardening and tempering, but usage is not limited to such applications.
