Product Requirements
Drawings, specifications, intended use and critical product features.
QUALITY
Quality Managed from Specification to Shipment.
Incoming, in-process and final inspection, supported by product-specific testing and pre-shipment review.
CERTIFICATION & AUDITS
ISO 9001 certified. Independently audited.
Our quality management system is ISO 9001 certified.
Our audit experience also includes amfori BSCI assessments and successfully completed factory audits for Walmart, The Home Depot and Lowe's.
Quality Planning
Product specifications, critical features, reference samples and inspection requirements are reviewed before production.
Inspection Criteria
What is checked, the applicable method and the acceptance requirements.
Checkpoints & Records
Where checks occur and what results or decisions need to be recorded.
Quality Control Through Production
Checks begin with incoming materials and continue through processing, operation handovers, finished-product inspection and shipment review.
01
Incoming Inspection
Incoming materials, purchased parts and externally processed components are checked against the relevant requirements before use in production.
- Material or component identification
- Specified dimensions and condition
- Required supplier documentation
- Acceptance status before use
02
In-Process & Handover Checks
Checks during processing and at defined operation handovers focus on dimensions, condition and function before parts move to the next operation.
- First-piece or setup checks where required
- Machining, grinding, forming or assembly checks
- Relevant results after heat treatment or external processing
- Inspection status at designated handovers
03
Finished Product Inspection
Finished products are checked for appearance, assembly, fit and operation against the product requirements.
- Appearance and workmanship
- Assembly fit and movement
- Product-specific function
- Accessories and supplied components
04
Pre-Shipment Review & Release
Pre-shipment review covers product identity, quantity, packaging, labeling and the inspection information required for release. Customer-appointed third-party inspections can be arranged before shipment.
- Correct product and quantity
- Packaging, labels and accessories
- Required inspection and test completion
- Release status and unresolved quality issues
Product Testing & Laboratories
On-site laboratories in China and Vietnam support product inspection and testing. Tests are carried out at the appropriate stages of development and production.
Dimensions & Fit
Dimensions, interfaces and assembly fit, including relevant sheath-fit checks.
Hardness & Edge Geometry
Blade hardness and specified edge geometry for applicable knife programs.
Cutting & Edge Retention
Sharpness and cutting checks for knives, scissors and relevant tool working ends, including fishing-plier line cutting. Edge-retention evaluation for applicable knife programs.
Mechanisms & Retention
Opening, closing, locking and retention checks for relevant assemblies, including shovel locking and fishing-plier gripping checks.
Load, Cycling & Drop
Load checks, including relevant shovel programs; repeated-operation checks for mechanisms and scissors; drop testing for applicable hand tools.
Corrosion Evaluation
Corrosion testing for applicable fishing and outdoor products.
Routine production checks and batch sampling differ from development or validation testing. Destructive and durability tests use selected samples, not every shipped unit. Test methods, frequency and location depend on the program; not every test is performed at both laboratories.
Nonconformance & Corrective Action
Nonconforming or suspect product is held for review before further use or shipment.
01
Hold
Identify and control the affected material or product.
02
Review
Assess the issue, affected scope and appropriate disposition.
03
Correct & Recheck
Carry out the approved disposition and verify the relevant requirements.
04
Release
Release product only after the required checks and authorization.
Disposition may include rework, supplier return or rejection. Where corrective action is needed, causes are reviewed and actions checked for effectiveness.
Quality Records & Control
Specifications & Reference Samples
Current drawings, specifications and approved reference samples provide the inspection basis.
Batch & Inspection Records
Inspection results, status and release decisions are recorded against the relevant batch or work order.
Measurement Equipment
Inspection equipment is selected for the measurement task, with verification or calibration managed as required.
Supplier & Change Control
Relevant requirements are passed to suppliers, and changes affecting the product are reviewed before implementation.
