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

Note from seller:

"A few years ago, I was introduced by one of my makers to a new maker named Tahar and found his work as exciting and commissioned him to make knives. Due to an unforeseen disability I have accumulated more than 100 pieces of Tahar's work and decided to sell them along with my other collections. I chose Arizona Custom Knives because of the job Julie and Chris have done with more than 200 knives I have consigned with them.

In 2009, I sent Tahar to the knife show in New York where his work was displayed for the first time. It was here that Master Smith Jay Hendrickson stopped at his table, admired his work, and wrote a letter addressing the quality of Tahar's damascus and knives. In 2011, Wm. C. Johnson was so impressed with Tahar's damascus on display in Las Vegas that he purchased two billets to use in his own work. Please enjoy his craft as it is surely an art."
This sole-authorship lockback folder features a damascus blade and damascus frame with bone scales. Extensive file work on blade spine, backspacer, and all around the edges of frame, scales, and liners. Very nice work. Mint condition. Blade Steel: 135 Layer Damascus

About the Maker

Raza, Tahar

Tahar has been making his own damascus since 1995 and now creates his own sole-authorship fixed blades and folding knives. Tahar's shop is currently located in Maryland. Mastersmith Jay Hendrickson said in 2009 that he was ""impressed with all of his damascus work"" and ""I believe he has a lot of potential as a knifemaker."" In 2011, Wm. C. Johnson was so impressed with Tahar's damascus on display in Las Vegas that he purchased two billets to use in his own work. One of Tahar's knives was voted ""Best Damascus"" at the Texas Knife Show in April 2011.
