Frequently Asked Questions
What is your returns policy?
If you're not happy, please return the knife in new condition within 14 days from purchase. No questions asked.
How are your knives made?
All our knives are made in the USA. We are trying to play a small role in bringing high skill manufacturing back to America.
What steel do you use?
We use stainless steels exclusively. Most often Magnacut, which is a modern super steel developed by Larrin Thomas that gives incredible edge retention and corrosion resistance. You can read more about it here.
Can I send my knife back to be re-sharpened?
Absolutely. If your knife gets dull, please send it our way and we'll get it shaving sharp again. All you have to cover is shipping.
How do you make your knives?
All of our models are originally built by hand the traditional way. Once a model has been proven to work in the field, we begin moving processes to more efficient tooling to meet demand.
Our goal is to use the most efficient tool possible that will deliver the best product. That is usually a mix of human and machine processes.
Today, most of our knives have their bevels and scales precision cnc ground with all finishing done by hand to ensure high tolerances. This delivers the best possible product we know how to make.
