Process step
From your drawing to a packed crate
Pattern & tooling
Your drawing or sample becomes a die. Tolerances are agreed before a single piece is forged.
Drop forging
Martensitic bar stock forged hot, then normalised so the grain runs with the instrument.
Trimming & pressing
Forged blanks are trimmed and pierced on the presses, bringing each piece close to its finished outline.
Machining
Box joints, shanks and screw seats are turned and milled to the dimensions the pattern calls for.
Heat treatment
Hardened and tempered in a controlled quench, so the edge holds and the joint stays true in use.
Hardness testing
Pieces from each batch go on the Rockwell tester, and the reading is recorded before the batch moves on.
Grinding & fitting
Profile ground, jaws and box joints fitted by hand until they close along their whole length.
Laser marking
Your mark, size and steel grade are etched by laser, so they stay legible through repeated sterilisation.
Finishing & inspection
Satin, matte or mirror and passivated, then every piece closed by hand and documented for your market.
