02 / Grinding

Double disc grinding

Two opposing grinding wheels work both sides of a part simultaneously, supporting consistent thickness, parallelism, and repeatable production. Best suited for small parts and non-ferrous alloys such as aluminum, titanium and stainless. We continually invest in state-of-the-art equipment and cutting edge abrasive technology to efficiently achieve desired tolerances.

Material supply & laser cutting

Precisely cut profiles turn high-end knife steel into repeatable, precision knife blanks. Combined with downstream grinding, laser cutting helps create a more direct path from knife design to finished blade. We stock several specialized knife material grades in various thicknesses.
