Frequently Asked Questions

Custom orders start with a conversation. Reach out through our contact page with what you want made, how you plan to use it, and any details you already have in mind. From there, we can talk through design, materials, finish options, and the next steps before the order moves into production.

You can submit a custom quote request through the Custom Quote link in the navigation menu at the top of the page. From there, you can fill out the details of what you are looking for and we will follow up to discuss your project and put together accurate pricing.

Most custom orders start with a conversation about what you want, how the piece will be used, and any details you want included. From there, we work out the design, materials, and timeline before the project moves into production.

Lead times vary depending on current workload and the complexity of the project. Simpler pieces may move faster, while more detailed custom work can take longer. We will discuss timing as part of the order conversation so you know what to expect before the project begins.

Pricing depends on the size of the project, the materials used, the amount of labor involved, and how detailed the build is. The best way to get accurate pricing is to request a custom quote with the details of what you are looking for.

Material choice depends on the project and the way the finished piece will be used. For forged items and knives, we work with high-carbon steels such as 1084, 1095, and 80CRV2, selected for edge performance and durability. Handle materials are chosen based on function and the customer's preference. For woodworking projects, wood species, finish, and hardware are chosen based on the purpose and appearance of the piece.

Because custom work is made specifically for the customer, return options may be limited once a project has been approved and completed. If you have a concern about your order, contact us directly so we can talk through the situation.

Care depends on the item and the materials used, but in general, handmade knives should be kept clean and dry, and wood products should be cared for according to their finish and intended use. If you are unsure, contact us and we can give you care guidance for your specific piece.

We do attend local shows, markets, and community events from time to time. Follow us on social media or check back on the site for announcements about upcoming appearances. If you are in the Claremore or northeastern Oklahoma area, seeing the work in person is always welcome.
