Usually, your order is sent to the courier service within 24 hours. The warehouse is located in California, so delivery within the United States usually takes several days (2-8), depending on which shipping option you choose, and parcels travel to Canada for a couple of days longer. Due to coronavirus or weather conditions, the delivery may be delayed, but it is better to ask the courier about this. We will do our best to ship your order as quickly as possible.

International shipping takes longer and depends on your location. We ship all parcels using UPS, DHL & FedEx, so after we send the package, you can find out the estimated delivery date from the courier.

If you have a discount code (for example, GIVEME10), you can use it on the checkout page. On mobile devices, you need to open the "Order Summary" menu to see all the items in your cart and the field for adding discounts.

Such cases are very rare. They are mainly related to the fact that some American banks restrict payments abroad (our company is registered in Poland). To make a payment, you need to contact your bank and ask to remove these restrictions. Alternatively, you can pay via PayPal. Or you can pay with a card of another bank.

In any case, you do not have to worry about the safety of your purchase - all transactions are made through independent and verified international payment systems (Stripe & PayPal), which protect your funds. You can always request a refund within 30 days.

Here is a list of some of the banks that limit payments abroad:

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association

PNC Bank, National Association

Bank of America, National Association

Knives are manually forged by our blacksmiths, from manganese carbon steel, using traditional technologies, like a hundred years ago. The knife blank is heated in the oven, individually forged with a hammer, and then quenched in oil. After, the blade is sharpened manually by experienced craftsmen on a grindstone. Thanks to this, the knives get a unique rough shape and black color, as well as unprecedented strength and sharpness.

Our knife handles are composed of pakka wood (multilayer material) and wenge wood (African tree).

We do not offer local pickup.

No, we don't have partners or resellers yet.

We make knives that have been popular worldwide for more than a dozen (or maybe a hundred) years. Our seven models are the bestsellers of traditionally handcrafted knives, so it's no wonder you can see similar models from other sellers (in fact, we know more than 10 manufacturers and retailers that offer the knives that look similar to ours). But all knives are made from different steel, using different equipment and different technologies. You can find "similar" on Amazon for $ 20, but they will be different from ours :)

If you are wondering how to choose a quality knife from similar stores, here are some tips:

1) Check the photo reviews (it is better to see how the knives look in real life).

2) Find out what grade of steel the blades are made of (not just a common name, for example, our knives are made of 1095 grade carbon steel).

3) Find out the exact address of the warehouse (if the seller does not say, then most likely, your knives will come from China within 1-3 months).

4) Find out if the knives have a GTIN code (this code confirms the country of origin, in our case it is Poland and Lithuania).

This way, you can cut off most of the "Chinese" dropshipping sellers.

Don't worry, this is normal :) You should wash your knives well before using them for the first time (just don't rub them hard). After making, all knives are oiled to prevent rusting, but they also get metal dust from the forge. This happens when knives are made by hand. There is no need to remove the black "paint" from the blade - this is the natural color of hardened metal, just rinse off the dust and oil (but do not use the dishwasher!)

Be sure to read our blog on how to care for your handmade knives if you want them to last a long time

Some Frequently Asked Questions about warranty:

My blade coating or handle coating is chipped or worn, is this covered under warranty?

Coatings will naturally wear or chip with use and are not covered under our warranty.

My knife has developed some rust on it, is this covered under warranty?

Rust is not covered under warranty. As with any fine tool, proper maintenance is required. Knives need to be kept clean and dry to help prevent rust from developing. 

I put my knife in the dishwasher/washing machine to clean it. Now it is rusty, won't work properly, or coating has faded, is this covered under warranty?

This is not covered by our forever warranty and we do not recommend this form of cleaning.
