Focusing only on knives, AceCo Industrial Knives candeliver exceptional savings, quality and design to your knife needs.AceCo has been manufacturing knives for over 25 years, so we have theexperience and research to create a knife to the customers'specifications or match an existing design.
Through the years AceCo has done extensive research in metallurgy andheat-treat processes. Concentrating on 400 series Stainless Steels,AceCo has set specific element parameters that have to be met to insurethat the fabrication of each knife is repeatable and will uphold thehighest quality. Stainless Steels are iron-based alloys that contain aminimum of 10.5% chromium. Chromium is the element that increasescorrosion resistance due to its oxidizing action on the surface of themetal. Other elements are added at specified parameters to createalloys with differing properties applicable for their specific utility.Carbon is added for the mechanical properties that decide hardness andstrength through heat treat.
The grinding machines at AceCo are custom made, concentrating onkeeping the grinding operation cool, avoiding burning the metal causingthe blade to lose its hardness and strength characteristics. Feedrates, flood cooling and abrasive size are all controlled to insure aproper grind.
Coupled with our grinding, AceCo also has CNC turning, milling and jetmachining capabilities. These machines are used for high precisionknife manufacturing and for various knife holders.
