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

Banfield, Mark

Every knife I make is a one of a kind. I take much time in producing each one.I rely on skills and not technology.But I do have basic power tools like drill press,belt sanders,etc. My gas forges are all homemade. I have one stand up forge for general forging and damascus. I have several small forges for small stuff and one long horizontal forge with 2 burners.I can use either 1 or 2 burners depending on the blade length.. This is the forge I use for heat treating.Just about all of my knives are hand sanded.Every knife is forged unless I specifically say otherwise.My damascus is hand forged.Most carbon steel blades I make have a clay heat treat.My knives are forged first,then rough ground,filed and heat treated.I then refine the blade by belt sander.Then it is hand sanded.I often put a lot of carving and texturing on my guards and handles.Sometimes I have to make a special tool to get the look I want. I prefer to make daggers and fighters,but also like the odd Bowie,or hunter.I love the weapons of the Celts,Vikings and Anglo Saxons,but rarely make any. I like to make knives that are unique.Generally I don't make any Japanese style stuff,or tactical stuff,but I plan on making the odd one eventually. For blades I prefer 1084 and 1095,also 1075. 5160 is a great steel too that I use occasionally.For damascus I prefer the mix of 1084 and 15N20. For guards I usually prefer wrought iron or cast bronze.But I also use nickel silver,blued steel and stainless. For handles I prefer natural materials.Exotic hardwoods being my favorite..
