Jende Industries is currently an international company with facilities in the US, Australia, Malaysia, and Taiwan. Ironically, we had no intentions of becoming a sharpening-based company. But as fate would have it, in 1999 we started sharpening (poorly) and fell into the rabbit hole – deeply. Fast forward after several years of trial and a whole lot of error, and Jende Industries was started in 2004 with a single product – the Jende Reed Knife.
