For those who have gotten “sticker shock” when quoted a price on one of my custom knives, this announcement is for you, as well as, future clients.

Prices for all materials across the board (steel, handle materials, hardware, tooling, abrasives, shipping costs, etc) have increased dramatically over the last few years. The is absolutely no way I can eat all the costs on my end if I am trying to make a reasonable profit. I also have to take into consideration my time and my business reputation, which although I could not charge what normal businesses do, can not be just “free”. My business would fold.

With all that being said, prices for my custom work has increased noticeably. For those that have purchased from me in the past, there is no viable way for me to charge the prices I did from a few years ago, for the same blade that I would make today. So, if you want a custom blade at a “production” or “mainstream” price, it’s not going to happen.

I hope you understand and thank you.

  1. completely understood, every business is dealing with the increased cost of supplies, and keeping staff on board…

    many businesses would not reach out like u did, wish more would have that type of integrity
