Phase 1: Procurement & Prep
Principle: Rolling Logistics
"Calculate your lead times and order for Run #2 while you are starting Run #1. Total Cycle: ~60 Days Door-to-Door."
Scaling Tip: Stop cutting profiles by hand. Use a service provider for WJ/HT/DDG. This frees you up to finish knives while the next batch is being cut.
Phase 2: Production Workflow
Principle: Batch Processing
"Do one task for ALL knives before moving to the next. Setup time kills efficiency."
Layering Depth: A good stonewash requires depth. The acid darkens the lows, and the tumbler polishes the highs. If skipped, the finish looks flat and cheap.
Phase 3: Assembly & Delivery
Principle: Zero Failure
The 'Click': Customers judge quality by the sound and feel of the sheath. Ensure a positive, audible click upon insertion.
