Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you ship from?
All orders ship from Texas, USA. We're a US-registered LLC.
Are your blades really handmade?
Yes — every piece is hand-forged and hand-finished. Damascus patterns are unique to each blade, so yours will never be identical to another.
Do you offer engraving?
Yes, custom engraving is available on most pieces and is done in-house before shipping. See our Engraving page for details.
Can you make a custom design?
Absolutely — custom orders are one of our favorite things to build. Start on our Custom Orders page.
Why does my blade arrive oily?
High-carbon Damascus steel is shipped with a light coat of protective oil so it arrives rust-free. Simply wipe it down (or wash kitchen blades) before first use — and see our Knife Care Guide to keep it looking forged-yesterday.
Do you sell wholesale?
Yes — see our Wholesale page.
Is there an age requirement?
Yes, you must be 18 or older to purchase. See Age & Shipping Restrictions.
