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

Machete Masters

I have been making custom machetes for the past 8 years. I don’t make knives…I make machetes.

My machetes are functional hard use tools with comfortable natural indexing handles. They are the right balance, thickness, and weight to use and carry for days or weeks at a time through tough rugged environments. Each blade and sheath combo takes me 40+ hours to complete.

YES, I use the machetes I make and my friends also use them. If they sucked, I would know it, I wouldn’t use them, and I wouldn’t sell them.

I make 2 types: a “regular” length Latin style machete (13.5 in. blade and 19 in. total length) and a short Latin style machete (7.5 in. blade and 12.5 in. total length). I use 8670 steel that is sourced from BESTAR Germany. All my blades are .120 thickness and are 56-57 HRC. The blades have a forced patina, are stonewashed, and etched with Machete Masters and 8670. I convex grind the blade edge, the spine near the handle is squared off and filed flat (for scraping wood), and I round the spine near the front end (for a handhold). For handle material, I use tropical hardwoods (I hand-pick the boards myself in Bolivia) or I use UltreX Micarta (some with G10 liners). The handles are mechanically secured to the full tang blade with brass Loveless bolts and a flared brass lanyard tube (I also use G/flex epoxy to ensure a waterproof seal). I make custom taco style sheaths for each machete with .093 KYDEX, brass Chicago screws, and a brass Sam Browne stud (to hook the lanyard). The sheath for the long machete has three low profile KYDEX loops in back for attaching to your field pack. The sheath for the shorter machete has a belt clip and one low profile KYDEX loop in back.
