When we were first planning the production of Saber Knives, we had our mission to “create the highest caliber of cutlery at an affordable price point” in mind. From the get go, we shared some of the concerns our customers have expressed about manufacturing in China. However, after much time and research into manufacturing options, we found that by making Saber Knives® in China we could provide a hot-drop forged and ice treated knife of exceptional quality at a reasonable price while ensuring the environmental and fair labor standards we require.
Overseas, at our manufacturing facilities in China, we have inspectors on the ground every day. They are in communication with factory managers and workers to ensure implementation of quality control, fair labor, and environmental standards and policies. In addition, we require third-party social audits of our manufacturing facilities.
A Code of Conduct is in place for the factory which includes guidelines covering ethical standards, employee rights, fair labor standards, professional management systems, manufacturing excellence, and health and safety of workers, employees and end users.
In addition to rigorous oversight of our entire production process, we have stringent controls to ensure the quality and safety of our finished products including regular product testing through third-party, accredited laboratories to meet regulatory requirements and our own high standards for product safety.
By keeping our company small we can ensure a price point for our world-class knives that under-cuts the competition by as much as 70%!
Our commitment to responsible manufacturing, packaging and shipping is part of a much larger and more comprehensive commitment to offer the best possible knife quality at prices most can afford.
