When you inquire about having a knife custom made or having embellishment work done I base my quotes on the difficulty of the job and the materials that will be used. I do not charge a premium on materials from my suppliers. I will begin work as soon as possible. After the job is complete I will contact you and inform you that the knife is finished, and then you can send the remainder of the payment. I welcome full payment up front so I can ship the knife immediately after it is finished without hesitation. I prefer payment by postal money order, I do accept paypal, but if you choose to pay by paypal I require you to add 4% on to the total price to help cover the fee paypal charges me.My paypal address is muskratmanknives@gmail.com. The price I quote you will include materials, labor, and return shipping by USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation. I try not to work on liner locks, or frame locks. I can do certain work and restoration to them but if I cannot do the work you want done, I can reccomend you to someone who can.
I work in most any handle material you want, bone, wood, stag, horn, ivory, synthetics, reconstituted stones, micartas, ect. I do NOT work with G10, I will work with most everything else, but if you want G10 scales put on your knife, I'm not the person for you, I'm sorry.
What I do:
- restore, professionally clean and repair knives both fixed and folding
- filework backsprings,liners and occasionally blades
- rehandle fixed and folding knives in a wide variety of natural and manmade materials such as reconstituted stone, wood, horn, ivory, micarta, jeancarta, abalone, ECT
- reinstall shield in the new handles.

- make fixed blade knives to your specs on my approval
- alter existing models to fit your needs
- special order handle material if I do not have it in stock
- brush, hand rub, or mirror polish blades on request
- gun blue blades on request.
What I do Not Do:
