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

Orebchuk Bogdanovich (Kazak Knives), Oleksander

As a Kuban Black Sea Cossack, I strive to share my passion for my culture and customs with the world. I was born into an old Cossack family and raised following very strict Cossack customs and traditions. I developed an interest in edged weapons at an early age. Later on, as an advanced collector of antique arms and armor, I frequently traveled around the world in search of old edged weapons and armor. In 2006, while doing some research on the subject of edged weapons in Northern India, I had the honor and privilege of meeting a great man and master blacksmith, Mr. Gopilal Bhanwarlal Lohar, the royal armorer in the court of the king of Mewar in Rajasthan, India. His family has traditionally maintained this position for the last 275 years, since 18th Century King Bhim Singh to the current King Arvind Singh. Mr. Lohar introduced me to some of his edged weapon making techniques, particularly the use of a variety of metals and materials. I was stunned and impressed and at that time decided to change my course and start making knives. I requested that he grant me an apprenticeship and he agreed. For the next 3 years, I stood in his shop for approximately 3 months a year eagerly learning all he was teaching me on knife making. My knives are a manifestation of my personality and spirit, using antique steel in combination with modern high tech materials and designs. I try to produce a very unique product with three things in mind: personal enjoyment, customer satisfaction, and creation of an ultimate tool. I hope you enjoy your knife and much as I enjoyed making it. Our pledge at Kazak Knives LLC is to establish a lasting relationship with our customers by exceeding their expectations and gaining trust through exceptional products. Cossack Code …All peoples are equal; there are no peoples big and small. Never regard the son of the other nation above you or less intelligent than you. Be equally kind and open with everybody… Remember that they judge your people from what you are! Every word you say is the word of your people. Remember, your soul belongs to God alone and may no human Evils invade it not… Oleksander Orebchuk-Bogdanovich
