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 knife by Scott Roush features a "Lightning Bolt" San Mai Damascus blade with a single nickel layer on each side, raised clip recurve blade with textured flats and false top edge, .262" blade stock and 1.682" blade depth, full tang construction. The handle has a hand forged wrought iron guard made from a Civil War Wagon Wheel, 150+ year old rough textured ebony scales with hand peened nickel silver pins, lanyard hole at the butt with vintage Native American beads on the leather lanyard. Comes with a Native American made sheath with leather and fur overlays. Comes with nylon zippered case. Has some light scratches, otherwise excellent condition. This knife was made for Sylvester Stallone and was to be his co-star in the movie "Geronimo", but it did not come to be. 

Note from maker: Gregory (from Art Knife Gallery) contacted me a number of years ago to make this knife for Stallone's movie (at the time) 'Geronimo'. Apparently he was in direct contact with Stallone... and design elements were made through phone calls. The knife was supposed to be a central part of the story.. something about the knife being forged by a special native American smith and then gifted to Stallone's character.. a trapper. Greg would call me, call Stallone, call me, call Stallone, etc.... over several months until we came up with this. I delivered the knife but then Stallone's son died and the movie project just.... vanished. I've never heard anything since. The sheath was made by Chuck Burrows who was also making other accessories for the movie.

About the Maker

Roush, Scott

Scott specializes in unique hand-forged blades and tools utilizing unique, antique and sometimes ancient materials. There’s old school. And then there’s super old school. And beyond super old school, past the likes of Daniel Boone and Erik The Red, you’ll find Scott Roush of Big Rock Forge, a former BBC / Discovery Channel photographer turned blacksmith and bladesmith. Inspired by Scandinavian and Native American hunting traditions, Roush shapes knives by hand over a charcoal forge, hammering them out on a traditional anvil. While that fact alone would be enough to garner some serious respect from the bladesmithing community (who would be quick to point out that he both “smelts it, and dealts it”), Roush takes his game up a notch by making his OWN iron ore – which he personally sources from the shores and depths of Lake Superior, and melts in his kiln.
