Custom OEM Program
Oem Chinese Kitchen Knife Manufacturer
Build Chinese slicing knives, vegetable cleavers, choppers, multipurpose Cai Dao, and heavy-duty kitchen cleavers with LeeKnives — a Chinese kitchen knife OEM program for brands that want powerful chopping performance, traditional silhouettes, and modern retail finishes.
Ideal for Asian kitchenware brands, restaurant suppliers, wholesale distributors, and online specialty stores. Start from your drawing, reference sample, product brief, or modify an existing LeeKnives catalog design into a market-ready branded product.
From Existing Sample or New Concept
Use a LeeKnives catalog model as a starting point or send your own idea for a new OEM project. The goal is to reduce development risk while keeping the final product unique to your brand.
Private Label Ready
Add logo, custom packaging, product insert, care guide, retail barcode, and carton requirements so the product is ready for wholesale, eCommerce, retail, or gift channels.

FAQ
Chinese Kitchen Knives OEM Questions
What is the difference between a Chinese slicer and a chopper?
A slicer is thinner and optimized for vegetables, boneless meat, and general prep. A chopper is heavier and built for tougher kitchen tasks.
Can the blade weight be adjusted?
Yes. Blade thickness, height, taper, and grind can be adjusted to create a lighter slicer or a more powerful chopper.
How does the OEM process work?
Share your idea, target price, drawings or references. LeeKnives reviews feasibility, prepares mock-ups or samples, confirms details with you, and then starts mass production after sample approval.
Can you add private label packaging?
Yes. Logo, box, sleeve, instruction card, care card, barcode label, and export carton requirements can be included in the OEM scope.
