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

Blackside Customs

Blackside Customs started life with one goal in mind: elevating your EDC gear to new heights! With that in mind, we have brought our unique design and style to EDC staples like pens, knives and pocket gear. Not ones to stop with at the 'usual', Blackside Customs has brought our expertise to gear considered off the EDC "beaten path" to enhance your kit even further! Behind the Scenes Blackside Customs was founded by Hank Greenberg, who has over 32 years of experience in the firearm and knife industry. Throughout his career, Hank has consulted for some of the largest firearm companies, law enforcement agencies, and custom knife makers in the world. He also served as the Custom Shop Manager at Microtech Knives for seven years, working hand-in-hand with Anthony Marfione ( Founder of Microtech Knives ) as his right-hand man on projects both stateside and international. Eventually, Hank reached a turning point—after decades of being the “number-two guy,” he wanted to create a company of his own where he could fully express his creative vision. Blackside Customs was born from that drive, with a mission to design and produce innovative tools while forging a true connection with like-minded enthusiasts. Since then, Blackside Customs has earned a reputation for producing world-class knives, precision pens, EDC tools, and more, each piece blending craftsmanship with purpose. Outside of business, Hank is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt under Alexander (Soca) Freitas and still enjoys spending time at the range, training with both long guns and handguns. Beyond his professional and personal pursuits, he’s also a dedicated husband and father to three boys—a role that inspires his commitment to excellence, discipline, and integrity in every aspect of life and work.

"My name is Bastien Coves and I have been a french Knifemaker for over 12 years and I recently had the chance to move to the USA. I live now with my wife and my 2 daughters near Orlando, FL. I started my knife collection when I was 7 and I’m very experienced with carrying, using, and playing each day with different kinds of knives (fixed blades, Karambits, balisongs, Katanas, folding knives, push daggers, etc.). My work as a knifemaker and knife designer pushes me to make lots of cutting tests each week over the past 12 years, which allows me to better create and warranty the perfect knife to my customers. I've done work for the military, law enforcement, French special units, martial arts instructors, martial arts students, collectors, etc. My work is my passion and I’m lucky to live it each day, and to meet and share it with other people who are passionate about knives."
