Hey all,

New to the community...this is my first post. Seems like a great place and I've already learned a lot!

I'm poking around on a side project and was hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction. I'm interested in learning more about any domestic (usa) companies that have private label programs for kitchen chef's knives.

I'd love to explore the feasibility of a USA-made cutlery line on par with (or better than) Wusthof quality and at better prices, sold direct to consumer. Pipe dream to have the quality, domestic manufacturing and compelling price point?

I found a place called Lamson & Goodnow that looks like they do runs of 200 knives or more and was wondering whether anyone might know of other places that might fit the bill too? Would be interested in starting with just one knife (a classic 8-9" chef's knife) and then seeing what happens after that.

Thanks so much for any help!
 
Lamson is the only one that I know of. The used to do runs as small as 100.
 
lamson does a pretty decent job, but you have to be on top of the quality checking to be sure.
 
franz > for sure...though one could say this about most manufacturers, no?

thanks for the helpful replies all.
