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.

About the Maker

Boye Knives
Boye Knives

Boye Knives specializes in high performance cobalt alloy knives especially suited to the salt water environment. We have been handcrafting knives in the USA since 1971, when David Boye began making knives in his backyard from recycled sawmill blades. In 1975 he authored his now-classic text, "Step by Step Knifemaking: You Can Do It." He is recognized as one of the major influences in modern custom knife making. Through the years, David's inventiveness, design sense, and refined craftsmanship have produced beautiful, practical works of art. His breakthrough discovery of cast dendritic metallurgy in the early '80's revolutionized traditional blademaking and set new cutting records. In the late '90's, he began working exclusively with Boye Dendritic Cobalt because of its superior cutting abilities and corrosion resistance.

Norris, Don

Don Norris specialized in classic and traditional styles, producing both working and exhibition knives, often in a Bowie style. A perfectionist, he found knife making exhilarating and embraced each artistic challenge with gusto! He loved putting together unique and beautiful materials to create an elegant statement piece, often enhanced with a Francine catalog etching or the occasional custom etching. Don passed away in 2008.
