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.

Happy Holidays! Our office will be closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as we spend time with our families. Regular office hours resume Thursday, 12/26.

Overview

The No.5 is a popular design worldwide. Created in the nineties by the French knife maker and combat specialist Fred Perrin, this compact personal protection tool, in its original format, is often carried as a neck knife.

The knife is built around a single index finger hole, serving a few combat driven functions such as being able to not lose the knife if for some reason the user must open his hands. Also, the hole is a formidable guard to protect the hand during defensive or offensive use, without the downside of a traditional guard that can get caught in clothing during deployment.

We gave our No.5 a short G10 handle with finger grooves to maximize retention during combat. The VG-10 blade comes with a serrated swedge. This blade design is optimal for personal protection since it can be used for stabbing and slashing using forward and reverse grip variations.
