Send me an email at sankelknives@gmail.com describing your custom project.
After settling on the details and price, I'll give you an estimate of the wait time, and start working on your order. You can expect to recieve update emails along the way.
Payment by check or cash. For custom orders over $500, I will ask for a deposit to cover material costs.
If you still have any questions, feel free to reach out and I'll be more than happy to answer them.
Currently, I am only selling high carbon steel knives. This means that they are going to develop a patina, and will rust easier than stainless steel. Fortunately, with proper care and just a little time, rusting can be easily avoided. Here are some things to remember:
Only hand wash the knife (using the dishwasher will harm the blade's edge and the handle material, as well as rust the knife).
Do not leave the knife wet after using it, wash it right away.
Dry the knife with a towel after washing it, don't just let it air dry.
Every few months, put a new coating of wax on your blade.
You'll notice after some kitchen use that your knife will develop what is called a patina. A patina is a good type of oxidation which does not cause any harm. It can look like splotches of color or grey, and are completey normal, and even in some cases sought after in a carbon steel knife.
Please check your order upon reciept. If there are any concerns, reach out to me and I'll try to make things right.
If your knife needs sharpening or a cleanup (due to rust or any other problems), just send the knife to me, and I'll get it back to you ready to get back to work.
