production of special tools and sharp edge tools
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)

Production of special tools and tools to customers' profiles
Hi Jane
I'm guessing as usual, but this is what comes to mind:
Production of special tools and tools to customers' profile specifications with either one-piece or brazed construction
