Terms and Conditions of Sales: Scotland has new knife laws - I'm now required to be licenced as a knife-dealer, to obtain identification from every customer, including proof of age over 18, and to record this information for 3 years from time of purchase. In practice, as my customers have always been a pretty select and discerning group, I've always done this, but I hope you won't be offended when I now have to ask for some kind of formal id (I will not ask for photo id) and a telephone contact number alongside your email address.

When you buy any knife from this site, including commissions (for which I also have my own fair trading standards) your purchase is, and has always been, covered by UK distance-selling laws, which you can find in detail online. Basically, this means that I will always establish estimated delivery dates, and any postage costs during the order process, and you always have the right to return any item within fourteen days of purchase.

I accept payments by cheque, bank transfer, and through PayPal. For the latter two kinds, I really appreciate it if you specify payment of the amount due to me in £ (GBP) otherwise I lose out to the tune of 5-10% in fees. For all orders, we'll discuss what form of payment best suits you when I accept your order. If you have any further questions, please get in touch.
