Project costs

All projects are dependent on materials and time. See below for payments.

Knives

Knife pricing varies by size, material, and complexity, but here’s a general breakdown to give you an idea:

  • Standard knives start at $300 for a 4-inch blade and go up from there
    Chef knives start at $400
     
  • Paring knives start at $280
     
  • Outdoor knives start at $340
     
  • Damascus steel adds $200 to any knife, with additional cost for larger builds
     
  • Railroad spike knives – $60
     
  • Railroad spike bottle openers – $40


  • Blacksmithing and welding projects (non-knife builds) are priced based on materials and time.

Knives

Repair jobs are dependant on the condition of the item to be repaired, minimum $50

Handle Material


Specialty handle materials are available upon request and may add to the final cost.

Metal casting

Casting projects are priced based on size, materials, and mold complexity, with a minimum starting cost of $100. Larger or more detailed pieces will scale with time and materials.

I offer lost wax casting, including 3D printing wax models, and can work from your custom designs. Got your own STL file? Awesome—you’ll get a discount for bringing your own digital model to the party.

Whether it's jewelry, emblems, custom hardware, or just something wild you dreamed up—I’m down to cast it in metal.

Blacksmithing and welding projects

 Blacksmithing projects are custom priced based on materials and time, with a general rate of $90 per hour.

Welding projects start at $80 per hour, plus the cost of materials.

If you’ve got something in mind—metal art, repairs, or a full custom build—just reach out and we’ll figure out the best way to bring it to life.

Engraving

Engravings under 6 inches in length cost $50 per image or text (multiple lines ok), large engraving costs start at $100 per image or text (multiple lines ok). 

Shipping

 Shipping is free on all knives within the U.S.

Larger or heavier items—like battle axes, metal art, welding projects, or other blacksmith creations—will have shipping costs based on size and weight. These items typically start at $80 -$120+ to ship.

Unfortunately, I do not ship to the UK or other countries with knife bans—gotta keep it legal. Any overseas shipping costs will be determined at time of sale.

Designs and payments

Design Process

 I work directly with each customer to design their ideal knife—whether it’s through email, messaging, text, or phone calls. Once we’ve talked through what you’re looking for, I’ll create a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) proof so you can see exactly what the knife will look like before anything is built.

Design work is completely free, and since I use CAD, revisions are quick and easy. You’ll get as many updates as you need until the design feels just right. I don’t start the build—or take payment—until you’re 100% happy with the design.

Payments

 Once your design is approved, I require a non-refundable 50% deposit to begin the build. The remaining balance is due before shipping, though if you prefer to pay in full up front, that’s totally fine too.

Not ready to start right away? No problem—I’m happy to design your knife and save the CAD file until you're ready to move forward.

I accept credit/debit cards and most payment apps, and if I don’t already use your preferred one, I’m usually happy to add it.
