What Is ODM?

ODM is also called Original Design Manufacturer. It’s a process where we create unique, high-quality products tailored specifically for your brand.

Instead of buying off-the-shelf knives, you can have knives that reflect your vision and meet your customers’ needs.

How Is an ODM Knife Built?

Step 1: Let us know your ideas for a new knife, including the usage scenarios, functional requirements, design preferences, etc.
Step 2: Then, according to the communication results, we make preliminary design sketches, including blade shape, length, and handle style.
Step 3: Discuss and revise the design sketches until both parties agree on a detailed design plan.
Step 4: After confirmation, we draw 3D mock-ups for prototypes and run usability as well as feasibility trials. Then we’ll send the mock-up to you for detailed discussion.
Step 5: We manufacture a test product and send it to you for further inspection.
Step 6: We make sure your ideas and expectations were heard before mass production. If the test product is approved by both parties, we will start the line.
