Common Questions
What is the typical lead time for a custom knife?
Currently, our commission queue is approximately 8 to 12 weeks from the receipt of deposit. This timeline ensures each blade undergoes a meticulous heat treatment and hand-finishing process to meet our quality standards.
How do you determine the price of a custom blade?
Pricing starts with a base cost for your chosen steel and size. Additional factors include blade geometry, custom engravings, and the rarity of the handle materials—such as stabilized exotic woods or brass bolsters.
What is the KingSmith commission process?
It begins with a consultation and quote. Once the 50% deposit is paid, we refine the design together. During forged implementation, you'll receive milestone photo updates until the final edge is polished and ready for shipping.
