Manufacture kitchen utensils

[Warrior]

I've got a design in mind for a new kitchen utensil. It's a slight modification on an existing utensil and I intend to market it to the catering industry.

I was wondering whether should I go to manufacture it? I asked a friend and he said Wuyi in Zhejiang Province is the place to go.

I was wondering whether I should get a product design done on fiverr before contacting a manufacturer. I have two design ideas for this utensil. Also, I'm wondering if I need to get it patented. There are products serving the same purpose as mine but my idea has a design modification.

You can go to manufacture it after you think your design is OK, need manufacturer?

The answer to all your questions is YES. Go do it.

Make some prototypes (carve, 3d print, one off machine, whatever)
..... get pictures and video.....setup a site..... GET SOME online SALES
.....AT THE SAME TIME ...... go to caterers and GET SOME SALES
----------------------Do not go below this line until the above is completed ---------
With sales
......make some batch runs
......if you have the next great bread slicer, file for a provisional patent (it gives you a year to figure out if you want to pursue a full patent), put 'patent pending' on all copy and info
......GET SOME more SALES
