Adding your name to my "available knives" mailing list

  I am accepting orders, with full payment being due prior to shipment. (This includes shipping and insurance costs, not included in the quoted price.)  I do not produce specific "Models", with the exception of my "EBK" & Progression folders,  but rather styles of knives.  Each one is an individual, and I believe my customers deserve nothing less.  I currently keep three mailing lists.... One for EBKs, one for "Using" knives (to include "using" type folders, and one for Collector Pieces (to include collector grade folders).  If you would like to be notified when a piece is available for purchase, simple send an email to Caffreyknives@gmail.com with one of the three lists in the subject line and I will place you on that list.  Please include the style of knife your most interested in (Bowie, Hunter, Folder, etc.).


  Quoted at time of order


 Here's how payment and delivery will work......

I reserve the right to request a non-refundable deposit on any knife ordered, if it is of a design/type that I do not feel would sell if the customer where to cancel, or if very expensive materials are requested (such as ivory, gold, etc). However, as a general rule, I DO NOT accept deposits.

Payment types accepted:  Check, Money Order, or Paypal. (Credit cards can only be accepted through paypal) using Paypal will add  4% to the total cost.

International Orders/Payments:
  With all of the credit card problems lately, I will not accept any credit card payment from outside the U.S.   Payments from international customers must be made via paypal,  An international money order (payable in U.S. funds),  or a check is acceptable if drawn on a U.S. bank. No products will be shipped until payment has cleared.



 

Your name will be added to my waiting list when you officially place and order. (either verbally, or via email/regular mail).  Approximately 2-3 weeks out from completion I will notify you.  At that time full payment is due, including shipping and insurance costs that I specify.. (unless other arrangements have been made with me)  Once payment is received, I will ship the knife.  Once the knife arrives, you MUST contact me an let me know that the knife has arrived safely.  I will hold the funds for a period of 7 calendar days.  This period is to allow you (the customer) to evaluate the knife and ensure you are 100% satisfied.  Contact me with your decision as to whether you will keep the knife or return it.  If I do not hear from you at the end of the 7 calendar days, I will deposit the funds, and will only accept a return based on my guarantee. (see bottom of this page)     If you wish to return the knife, do so, and upon receiving the knife, I will refund your money, minus shipping and insurance costs.

*I will attempt to complete a knife or two each month for exclusive sale on my web site.  Please check the Available page  for knives that are ready for delivery.

I will consider custom designs if they appeal to me, provided the customer is willing to except minor modifications to the design that will add to the overall design/function.  Designs that depart from the main stream, will require full payment in advance.

*  Some knives displayed on my site are listed with exotic handle materials such as Sambar Stag or Fossil Ivories.  The prices for knives ordered with these types of handle materials will vary with the current market prices.  For example, a knife listed for $750 with a fossil ivory handle may be quoted considerably higher now, due to the ever increasing prices of fossil ivory.  The same holds true for Sambar Stag.

* Prices start at $175 for my "EBK" model utility knife (pictured below) with Kydex scabbard, to thousands for exotic Collector pieces. Typical hunters start at $375.

*For collector pieces I suggest advising me of the "Type" (Hunter, Bowie, Fighter, etc.) of knife you are interested in, and your budget.  When I complete a piece of that type, I will notify you.

*Knives will be shipped after full payment is received.  All payments (except those for EBKs) will be held by me, for a period of 7 calendar days after the customer receives the knife, to ensure you are fully satisfied with your purchase.  If for some reason you are not completely satisfied, return the knife to me, and I will refund the full purchase price, minus shipping costs.

*I favor natural handle materials, but will use most any available material in order to ensure customer satisfaction. (with the exception of Elephant Ivory, which I do not use)

*Orders will be completed in the order received, and you will be notified for complete payment prior to shipment.  All items are guaranteed.  If you are not satisfied with your knife, I will do whatever it takes to make it right.  Along with your purchase goes lifetime cleaning and sharpening.  If you desire this service, return the knife to me, with return postage, and I will do the rest.
 


  If you are not 100% satisfied during the 7 day inspection period, return the knife to me.  After this period my general guarantee applies:  I will repair or replace any knife that fails during use.  Basically, I will work to make it RIGHT with you.  This does not cover misuse,  abuse of the knife/knives, or if the knife is modified in any way.   If there is a question of abuse, I will require you to send the knife to me for my inspection.  If I determine there was a honest failure, I will repair or replace the knife.  If I determine the knife has been seriously misused or abused, all guarantees are void.


*If you are a knifemaker, and are interested in damascus barstock, please follow this link for my price sheet.  Feel free to call or email with any questions.

 "Thanks for your interest in my work, I look forward to hearing from you!"
