production of special tools and sharp edge tools
Explanation:
utensili a profilo sono quegli utensili che hanno funzione di taglio, e normalmente le aziende inglesi li chiamano sharp edge tools (cutting tools sono leggermente diversi)

... e poi continuerei come Derek

...with either one piece or brazed construction

io forse discuterei la questione anche con l'azienda

personally i think bespoke would be wrong here as i feel \"speciali\" is meant for special/critical/demanding applications. bespoke to me is more a quality concept rather than a practical one. if you understand what i mean....

customized means that they are adapted to fit customer specifications. Here, speciali simply indicates a line of products intended to satisfy special needs, as a pose to the standard needs for the application. in my experience \"special tools\" is the understood expression in business to define this kind of products.

for example you may need a standard cutting tool to cut through steel but need a special tool to cut through titanium

if you really do not like special tools then an alternative might be \"high performance tools\"
