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.

About the Maker

Kistner Knives

While the name Kistner Knives is likely new to you, Dee Kistner has been pursuing his passion for knife making and thrilling his customers for more than a decade. To truly appreciate the uniqueness of a Kistner knife you have to understand the heart and soul that goes into each and every knife, so here is a little of Dee?s background in his own words. My name is Dee Kistner and I have been a knife maker since 2006. I have been involved in numerous trades throughout my working career. I worked my way through the ranks to lead a metal fabrication team in a custom car shop. As a Timber Framer of 8 years I rose into the role of Lead Joiner and later to be shop Foreman. I've been a rod buster carpenter and have polished concrete floors all over the nation. In each job and with every trade I realized the absolute necessity for a sharp and reliable knife. As a boy, I was fascinated with the pocket knives my grandfather carried because he always had one in his jeans pocket. They dug out splinters, cut rope, fishing line, bags of chicken feed and the like. His knives sharpened pencils and occasionally whittled. NO matter the task, they were always at the ready and used hard like any other valuable tool. Those knives served him well but they also left a lifelong impression on me. In the years since then, I have studied the craft of knife making, taught myself through testing, trial and error and learned a great deal by listening to customer feedback. The end result is well crafted, aesthetically pleasing fixed blades coupled with sheaths that any working person, hunter and outdoorsman could rely on day after day, year after year. I have a wide variety of standard patterns that I work from and all of them use 1075 high carbon steel. I also enjoy the challenge of full custom knives to ensure my customer gets the working class knife they want. For custom orders visit www.kistnerknives.com
