Customizing Kitchen Knives Makes You Unique: LeeKnives Offering ODM Solution
LeeKnives is a wholesale knife original design manufacturer (ODM). We take on your ideas and create products for sale out of thin air.
What Is ODM? What Is an ODM Kitchen Knife Manufacturer?
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.
An ODM kitchen knife manufacturer designs and produces knives for your brand, allowing you to sell them under your own label. Think of it as a one-stop solution where creativity meets efficiency.
At LeeKnives, we specialize in turning your ideas into reality with our expertise in both design and manufacturing.
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.

Technology
01 Shaping
Steel is pressed into the desired blade shape using a shape-cutting machine.
03 Cryogenic Treatment
It enhances blade performance by increasing hardness and wear resistance through the transformation of retained austenite to martensite. It also reduces internal stresses, improving dimensional stability and durability.
05 Sanding
The sanding stage is vital for refining the blade’s shape. Eliminating any sharp edges adjacent to the handle, smoothing the knife’s spine, and enhancing the blade’s edge sharpness. To accomplish this, an automated sanding belt is employed.
02 Heat Treatment
Precisely control temperatures when heat-treating blades to increase hardness and durability.
04 Wet Grinding
Its primary objectives include cooling and lubricating the treated surface, reducing heat buildup. Wet grinding not only cleanses the surface by removing abrasives and debris but also enhances later grinding steps such as sanding.
06 Installing Handle
Using traditional and modern techniques, the handle is securely fitted to the blade to ensure a comfortable and firm grip.
07 Blade Edging
Creating a precise edge for the blade and customizing the edge shape for different applications to ensure cutting efficiency.
09 Packaging
The final step before our knives are ready to go. Customized packaging designs are employed to cater to the distinct requirements of each customer.
08 Inspection
Followed by ISO standard, a comprehensive test will take place to examine the initial sharpness and edge retention of the knife.
