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 iconic and refined design of Tom Mayo mixed with the sleek and functional Shirogorov style! The slim and streamlined Dr. Death looks amazing with a stunning Bjorkmans Twist Damasteel blade and white/gray Alutex presentation side scale. The frame has been given a contoured profile that feels incredible in hand. The titanium lockside has subtle machined pattern for a tactile feel in hand. Some Tom Mayo style with rows of drilled holes on both sides for the frame. Not only do the holes reduce overall weight, but they give a window to the Damasteel blade when the knife is folded! The spear point blade profile features an upper swedge grind, has a high contrasting etched/satin finish, and deploys silky smooth on the Single Row Roller Bearing System. Some Shirogorov design shows through with their Custom Division pivot and frame hardware, and the machined titanium back spacer with partially recessed lanyard hole, jimping and blade channel. Small touches like the titanium pivot collar and titanium presentation side inlaid plate with Mayo and Shirogorov logos take this piece to the next level. The frame has extensive internal milling to cut out even more weight, making the knife come in at just 3.2 ounces! The milled titanium pocket clip to keep things in place, and features a drilled hole that corresponds with the frame holes. Steel lock bar insert doubles as a lock bar over-travel stop for a reliable and sturdy lock. Alutex/titanium frame with Mayo-style holes and internal lightening, featuring steel lock insert, for super lightweight design. Familiar Mayo profile with some Shirogorov style for a superb design. Spear point Damasteel blade Single Row Roller Bearing System (SRBS) bearing pivot with hardened steel washers for super fast, butter smooth pivot. Contoured design for superb feel in hand. Custom Division pivot and frame hardware. Machined titanium backspacer with internal groove lets the full sized blade fully tuck into the frame's profile.

About the Maker

Mayo, Tom
Mayo, Tom

"I have been making hand made knives since late 1981...but my love for knives started when I was a boy. My grandfather was always giving me a pocketknife for Christmas or my birthday and I can still remember the day he gave me a knife that he made from a file when I was about eight. He was the town doctor in Dresden, Tenn. and an avid hunter and fisherman. I have been a shooter since I was very young and make it a practice to go to the range at least once a week. It was only natural that as I grew older I began to collect more and more knives, until one day I picked up a Sports Illustrated with Bob Loveless on the cover. I had been making furniture as a hobby up until that day, but that article started me in another direction, and before long I had spent over $2500 on knife making equipment, without even starting on one knife. I struggled on my own, reading books and gleaning information where I could, buying knife supplies from various people, Glen Hornby in particular. We struck up a friendship over the phone and it wasn't long until he invited me to come visit him at his Glendale, Cal. home and spend some time making knives with him. To make a long story short, we became best of friends and I began to make the trip to California for a knife show or two every year until his tragic death on Sept 1, 1995. I will always miss him, he was a great knife maker and an even better friend. Through Glen's influence I began to develop a style that I would best describe as a direct copy of Mr. Loveless, but as the years went by I slowly fell in love with the older traditional type of knife that the Randall family makes, especially the clip point and trailing point. Today, I feel that my knives have a style all their own, but I have borrowed a lot from both of these pioneers in the knife making movement. My goal is to make an exceptionally high performance tool that is on par with the best knife makers in the country."
