Layaway Information

Layaway Policies

We offer a layaway plan on select products so you may pay for your order over a period of 60 days. Products that are eligible for layaway will show "Layaway Available: Yes" on the product page.

Here's how it works:

The total amount of the order excluding shipping, tax, or fees is divided into three (3) equal payments. The first payment is due with the order, the second payment is due 30 days later, and the final payment is due 60 days after the order.

There is a $15 non-refundable fee for layaway orders. This fee is added to the first payment along with the shipping and any tax. The first payment is made when the order is placed.

Example: Your order total is $300 plus $12.75 shipping and handling. If you select the layaway option, your payments would be:

  • $127.75 (1/3 of purchase = $100 + $15 layaway fee + $12.75 shipping)
  • $100.00 (1/3 of purchase = $100)
  • $100.00 (1/3 of purchase = $100)

If your initial payment is made by credit card, we will automatically process the 2nd and 3rd payments at the appropriate time using the same credit card information. You will be reminded via email that a payment will be charged. If you need to change this for any reason, please contact us.

For payments made other than credit card, payment must be received within seven (7) days of the due date or the order is subject to cancellation. You will receive a reminder via email that a payment is due.

If you wish to complete payment early and have your order shipped, you may contact us at any time during the 60 day period. There is no penalty for prepayment.

Additional products may be added to a layaway order without penalty. A new payment schedule will be calculated based on when additional products are added.

If you wish to complete payment early and have your order shipped, you may contact us at any time during the 60 day period. There is no penalty for early payment.

Cancellations of layaway orders are subject to a restocking/processing fee of 10% of the order total (not including tax and shipping costs). This restocking fee is in addition to the $15 non-refundable layaway fee.

Overview

This Sparrowhawk Scale Release D/A Auto from William Tuch features a blued Devin Thomas Raindrop Damascus (01 and Nickel) blade with a single anodized titanium thumbstud. The handle has matching Damascus scales, anodized titanium liners with jeweled interiors, matching Damascus backspacer, has fileworked screws. Nice detent, lockup and blade seating, strong action. Comes with a wooden case and COA dated October 2006. Has a few light scratches and a couple small oxidation spots, otherwise excellent condition.

This knife is set up a little weird. The thumbstud is for right handed opening, but the liner is set up as a left handed lock. Also, this is a scale release auto, the front scale moves at the top near the pivot. You still kind of attempt to open it as if the front scale moves and your fingers will push down on the back of the back scale, firing the knife. It will all make sense when you have it in hand.

NOTE: The COA for this knife has a note that reads:  "This is a knife i made while knife maker Tim Herman was visiting. It is my first fluted knife. This is a technique I learned from him. This marks the beginning of a new direction for me."

About the Maker

Tuch, William

I made my first knife in the fall of 2005. With a background in the metals supply and fabrication industry, I was very familiar with metals manufacturing and the machinery used. This along with some great guidance from Butch Vallotton was instrumental in my ability to learn this trade so rapidly. I realized quickly that I enjoyed the design aspect of the trade most of all. I had so many ideas, but my ideas were beyond my abilities. I started experimenting with carving and then was fortunate enough to meet an incredible artisan, Tim Herman. Tim and I spent several weeks together. In that time he filled me in on the basics of carving and many other aspects of knife making. Tim has truly been instrumental in my development. I now use very few machines. The bulk of my work is done with files, sandpaper and stones. These methods are very time consuming, but I am getting closer to achieving my ultimate goal of being able to create the designs that I see in my mind.
