By placing an order the buyer represents that he or she is of legal age and that the products ordered will be used in a lawful manner. We assume no responsibility for any harm or injury resulting from the sale, trade, use or handling of any product purchased from us. It is the responsibility of the buyer, not the seller, to ascertain and obey all applicable local, state, federal and international laws in regard to the possession, and or use, of any item purchased. We are unable to provide refunds in the event that the package that you have ordered was seized by customs or other agencies. Consult your local and state laws before ordering if you are in doubt.
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.
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:
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.

"I consider myself a part time Hobbyist knife maker that works in the shop between October and April every year and make about 5 knives a year total. I have been fascinated with cutlery from as far back as I can remember. I started out collecting factory knives. But I could always find faults with them. I then moved into the custom world and sold all the factory knives. Then I figured why not try my hand at making knives. So I slowly bought parts, knife making books and a few machines and gave it a go. In 1996 when I got a little older and had a few spare dollars to play with I tried my hand at cutlery but didn't have much success at the time. Soon after that I bought my first computer and researched anything to do with cutlery. I came upon Bladeforums which was the only knife related forum out there. They soon had a chat forum put on their server and after a short time on the chat forum I found out I was talking to Kit Carson every evening. I didn't know who Kit was at the time other than a knife maker. But Kit was very gracious and helped answer my many, many questions. In 1998 after a few months of questions, I was invited to Kit's house to learn. Since then, I have been back there many times and think the world of the entire Carson family, true southern hospitality at its finest. In 1999 George Young helped me with learning file work and working in Stellite/6K. I was fortunate to be able to buy some of Georges' equipment since he was winding down with his knife making career. In 2000 I was invited over to Darrel Ralph's house. Darrel helped me set up a few machines I bought. He built me mirror blocks and helped me to refine my knife making skills by doing my first auto knife under his supervision. In 2000 Alan Folts was very helpful in helping me obtain color on my knives with anodizing. Alan is the Ti coloring wizard. In 2007 Lee Williams helped me to understand the geometry behind the flipper. My flippers worked OK, then but Lee really helped me to get them dialed in to flip with just a finger."
