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 Model T by Ralph Bone features a satin finished blade with notched thumbrest, .187" blade stock and 1.046" blade depth, hidden tang construction. The handle is comprised of brass guard and butt, black and brass spacers, cocobolo grip. #T 616 on the blade. Has some scratches, has been resharpened, otherwise good condition. Comes with a brown leather sheath with "T" on the back.

The Ralph Bone knife, identified by T616 “Skinner” was made by Ralph Bone in 1966, prior to the founding of the Ralph Bone Knife Company.  It is especially identified by the inverted model letter and serial number “616”, stamped facing toward the blade.  The first digit (6) of the serial number represents 1966 and the “16” identifies the sixteenth Model T made that year.  (Note:  On all knives of the Ralph Bone Knife Company, the Model letter and serial number are stamped on the ricasso, facing the blade, rather than the handle.  Prior to the establishment of the company, those markings were stamped on the ricasso, facing the guard and handle.) - Huxley Walters

About the Maker

Bone, Ralph

Ralph Bone made high quality handmade fighting and sportsman's knives in Lubbock, Texas from 1964 to 1970. Bone was best known as a custom knife maker, for the first one half of his life and later, as a custom gun maker and highly innovative master engraver, which he pursued until his death. Actually, Ralph Bone made his first knife when he was nine years old. He produced knives, thereafter, until he died. Enedino De Leon joined the company in 1969, as a Marine Corp veteran. Bone taught De Leon to make knives and conveyed to me, late in his life, that De Leon was his favorite knife maker. He also made knives in association with Ed Spencer (the precision rifle barrel maker), G W Stone (Bone made the knives; Stone did the marketing), Sam Arnett (financial partner of Ralph Bone Knife Co).
