FAQs

My prices are based on many factors including; the average market value for what I'm making, my own skill level, the difficulty of completing the product, cost of materials, and other similar factors.
Two knives of the same model may be finished in very different ways and made with very different materials. That can take a lot more time or consumables and can be more or less complicated to make depending on the build. So each one is priced individually according to what I believe is fair.

I try to use the best steel for the intended purpose of the blade. In my opinion the most well-rounded steel is AEB-L/NitroV and so I use one of those most of the time (they are very similar steels) but I will be using more variety in my builds in the future.

Small businesses don't often get the same treatment as large brands. For some reason, people will go to a large outlet store in a shopping mall and pay asking price but when dealing with a small business, oftentimes ask for a discount.
We deserve our asking price more than the large outlet store outsourcing all its production overseas!

I've had to deal with some difficult customers upset about very minor aesthetic imperfections and demanding returns. Some truly unrealistic standards. One chucklehead didn't like the stonewash and said there were scratches all over the blade. As if I had finished the entire knife and then decided to play road hockey with it before shipping it out.

Due to these bad experiences, I don't have a return policy, but I am reasonable. If you get your knife and it has issues, reach out to me via email and I will try to help you solve the problem. Even if you used it and you found an issue much later, just let me know. At the least I may be able to offer a quick fix for you!
