How the Waitlist Works

Three months out. Worth the wait.

We only take a small handful of commissions each month. The list is currently sitting at around three months. Lock your slot now and we'll come to you when your turn is up.
01 Reserve your slot — $250 — secures your place on the waitlist. Slots are limited and the queue is currently ~3 months long.
02 We reach out — around 3 months later — when your slot comes up we'll email you to design the knife together. Steel, profile, handle, engraving, sheath, finish — all of it.
03 We quote and build — final quote for your approval, then your knife goes into production. Built by hand, one at a time, in Anna Bay.

Not Every Brief Gets a Yes

Commissions are reserved for our best, most complex builds.

We turn down most custom requests. It keeps the few we do take honest — knives nobody else is making, built with the kind of detail you can't rush. If your brief is right, we'll build something you won't see twice.
  • One-of-one builds — bespoke profiles, rare handle stacks, integrated bolsters, mosaic pins.
  • Material pairings we don't run in production — premium Damascus, antler with TruStone spacers, exotic timbers.
  • Heirloom commissions — knives engraved for a name, a date, a story you want passed down.
  • Briefs we can do justice to — if it's a standard profile, our drops and stocked range will get you there faster.

Pre-Order — Elmax Hunter — Tassie Blackwood & Abalone
★★★★★
This is an incredible knife. Beautiful and balanced. Most importantly it's beefy enough to slice and break down an animal, balanced and heavy enough to chop through bone or wood. Very well made.
