Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about custom knife orders and our services.

How long does a custom knife take to make?

Typical lead time is 3-4 months from order confirmation to delivery. This includes design consultation, material sourcing, forging, and finishing. Rush orders may be available for an additional fee.

What's the average cost of a custom knife?

Custom knives typically range from $300-$800 depending on materials, complexity, and size. Simple hunting knives start around $300, while elaborate chef knives or Damascus steel blades can be $600+. All quotes include sheath and shipping.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes, a 50% deposit is required to begin work on your custom knife. This covers material costs and secures your place in the production queue. The balance is due upon completion, before shipping.

Can I see the progress of my knife?

Absolutely! I provide regular photo updates throughout the forging process. You'll see everything from the initial steel heating to the final polishing. It's part of the experience of commissioning a handmade knife.

Do you make left-handed knives?

Yes! I can create knives optimized for left-handed users, including handle shaping, guard orientation, and sheath design. This is one of the advantages of commissioning a truly custom knife.
