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

The Nova-1 EDC Bowie Knife is a design collaboration between Bob DeMarco of the Knife Junkie Podcast and ABS Journeyman Bladesmith, Matt Chase of Hogtooth knives. Inspired by the Hogtooth Knives EDC Tanto, a fixed blade knife that’s easy to carry in the uptight environs of Northern Virginia (NoVA), the Knife Junkie decided to call this EDC Bowie, NoVA-1, in honor of the D.C. suburbs.

The 3.5-inch 154CM Bowie blade reflects the spirit of the traditional Bowie, delivering effortless cutting and thrusting performance with its hollow ground main edge and zero-ground swedge. The slight recurve adds to cutting efficiency while allowing for years of use and sharpening focused at the belly.

The handle ergonomics of the NoVA-1 and overall package are based on the Hogtooth Knives EDC Tanto, a fixed blade knife consistently featured on the Knife Junkie Podcast due to its ease of carry, robust usefulness and utter charm. NoVA-1 features polished deep burgundy linen micarta handle scales.

The Kydex sheath is a taco style, minimizing the overall footprint of the NoVA-1 and creating snappy, rattle-free retention of the knife. A thumb wave on the sheath aids in the discreet removal of the blade. The Discreet Carry Concepts clip keeps the sheath firmly anchored where you put it.

Clip the NoVA-1 to your pocket or waistband and know you have it covered, from cutting string and cardboard to defending life and limb. Each knife is hand made by Matt Chase in Massachusetts, where he proudly makes knives at the forge and the grinder from 100% USA materials.

The NoVA-1 EDC Bowie Knife. Carry a sharp piece of history with you every day.
