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

Smith, RJ (Rick)

I have been collecting knives of all kinds since I was around ten years old. Originally I was mainly interested in folding knives, but after reading 'How To Make Knives by Loveless and Barney', I decided to try my hand at making fixed blades back in 2001. Well I guess you could say I fell in love with fixed blades and have been making them since then. I make all my knives with the stock removal method and primarily use stainless steels such as CPM154, ATS-34, and 154CM, although I occasionally make a few with 01 tool steel and do the heat treat for those in the propane forge that I built myself. All of the knives I make with stainless steel are sent out for heat treating, usually to Peters Heat Treating here in Pennsylvania. My favorite knife makers include R.W. Loveless, Jim Merrit, and S.R. Johnson, among others. If I had to describe my knife making style I guess you could say I strive for the classic looks that these makers have demonstrated. During the past year I have done some major upgrades to my shop including a new mill, and various grinder upgrades. I hope to continue making fixed blades and I constantly try to improve my knife making, always striving to make that perfect knife. Some of my other plans for the future are to try my hand at making some folders. My interests in folding knives range from classic styles such as Ron Lake, to high tech cool stuff such as the knives made by Reese Weiland. I think I would also like to try a few slip joints, just for good measure."
