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

Rhea, Lin
Rhea, Lin

"I’ve always appreciated the look and feel of a good knife. Being raised in a country setting, a knife was a necessity, not just for looks. When I found out about the bladesmith school in Old Washington, Arkansas, I was amazed that there was such a school. At first, I tinkered with making knives, but wasn’t happy with the results. Finally my wife, Kay, insisted that I schedule a class with the school. It was the most interesting two weeks of learning I can remember. Joe Keesler and Greg Neely shared their love for the forged blade and still are willing to offer pointers when we meet at events. A year later I was able to take the Damascus class under Bill Fiorini. People like Mike Williams, JR Cook, Roger Massey, Jerry Fisk and lots of others shared a wealth of information that money couldn’t buy. I am a member of the American Bladesmith Society with a Mastersmith rating, which I received in 2009. I’m also a member of the Arkansas Knifemaker’s Association. I don’t farm out any of the different aspects of my knives. I do ALL the work on my knives and believe this will advance my skills and set my knives apart. I offer sheaths with my hunting knives because they are hard to use without one and I make them to be used. I do have a professional leather craftsman, whose name is Kenny Rowe, make the sheaths to fit the knife, because this makes the package complete."
