Agoge Blades products selection
Suppliers
Long hours of research, hundreds of emails to suppliers to understand what they do, how they produce, what materials they use.
The primary selection is on the suppliers.
Unprofessional, sale oriented instead of quality oriented suppliers are discarded, low quality mass production industries cant become our partners.
Only companies with good work ethic, quality production and interesting products are selected
Selection Process
After choosing the suppliers we start researching among their OEM catalog to find the right products for us.
We don't prioritize cheap products for easy selling, and dont look for fancy strange knives that just catch the eye.
We are professionals that have spent most of their life with a knife in their hands, know what a knife is made of and for.
We pursue the research of good quality products that can be a daily companion you can depend on.
Testing the Products
Every sample we receive from a supplier is disassembled and tested on the bench first, reassembled and tested on the field after.
The disassembly in needed to see how the supplier works on hidden details.
The blades are tested to verify hardness and heat treatment, inspected for defects and studied to see the total engineering and construction precision.
Then the knife is assembled and goes through various field testing ending in the destruction test, made to check the product's limits
If the knife passes the tests it will get in our catalog, otherwise it will be discarded and we go back to selection.
