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

From Sterling Buster of Fight’n Rooster Cutlery Co.: It was around 1990 when the knife bug finally sank its serrated teeth into me. Even though Frank Buster, “Pop” was a pocket knife man by trade, it was the fantasy blades that attracted my attention first. From there the more practical military style blades caught my fancy, and that’s where my love for the Smatchet took hold. Fast forward thirty years… watching others try their hand at Major W.E. Fairbairns beautifully formidable design, I decided to modernize it. I kept the size of the original design, gave it a nice wide blood groove on both sides, upgraded the steel and made the handle ergonomic so it grips you back. My thought behind this design was to keep it simple, yet useful and impressive. Since this was a throwback to a 1940’s design, I chose to release it through a throwback brand as well. Stud Horse was the first knife brand Pop started in 1974, a year before he came up with Fight’n Rooster. He made 200 or more three blade stockmans with brown picked bone handles, and that was it. Now, 47 years later, the second run of Stud Horses has arrived.
