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

Johnson, K. R. (Keith)
Johnson, K. R. (Keith)

I grew up in a farming community where everyone carried a pocket knife. All rural kids carried pocket knives to the one room country school I attended for 8 years. This started my fascination for traditional slipjoints. As a kid, I started making my own knives out of old hacksaw blades and files once I was tall enough to reach up to the bench grinder. After hand forging my very first ‘custom’ knife in my high school shop class, I knew I was someday going to be a knife maker. I began blacksmithing full time in 1986. I started out with craft items and gradually worked into ornate architectural ironwork. Along with making railings, I’ve forged and heat treated lots of tools for my shop. Over the years I’ve made at least fifteen thousand throwing tomahawks and hundreds of knives and other tools for the fur trade re-enactors. In 2004 I attended a demonstration by R.B. Johnson on liner lock folders. Afterwards, R.B. was kind enough to allow me to spend some time with him in his shop. He helped me build my first folding knife and I have been hooked ever since. About the time I was getting out of the US Navy in 1973, I bought a Case Sodbuster Jr. I carried and used that knife for many years until the spring broke. Instead of sending it off to Case to have it repaired, I disassembled the knife and used it as the basis for my own rendition of this old pattern. Since that time I have built a collection of patterns and continue to add to the list. I use CTS-XHP for my blades and back springs. All my knives are hollow ground on a 14″ wheel and are razor sharp. They always close dead center and have nice walk and talk. I use bronze pivot bushings whenever possible. The scales are made a variety of materials, bone, mastodon ivory, mother of pearl, Sambar stag, wood, G10, Micarta or any other natural or man-made material. All work is done in my shop from blank pieces of material. My goal is to produce each and every knife with a fit and finish that both you and I can be proud of.
