WELCOME TO CFK
CFK Cutlery Co. is a private knife manufacturer for the CFK knife brand. We
sell our entire handmade knife inventory below dealer wholesale, direct
to our customers. There are never any dealer mark-ups or retail catalog
mark-ups added, we pass these savings onto you. We believe we have the
highest quality handmade knives on eBay & Amazon. Look no further
for the best value for your money.
WHAT WE DO
CFK
sources its metals from Germany, Japan, and Sweden and our handle
materials are sourced from all over the world, including the USA. The
knives are handmade in the UK by a contract knife company. The finished
knives and leather sheaths are then imported to the United States. We
use several USA craftsmen (Yellow Hawk or SC Holsters) to handcraft leather and kydex sheath systems for our customers. We
are fortunate to have famous Navajo's Brian & David Yellowhorse to
customize many of our finished blades and we also have other
professional knife makers customize our blades from time to time.
LIFETIME REPLACEMENT KNIFE GUARANTEE
This
knife has a Lifetime Replacement Guarantee. Our knives are made very
well. We guarantee the new knives for life. If you break one of our
knife blades or knock the handles apart, we will help you pick out a new
knife from our current stock to replace the damaged one for free. You
must return the knife & sheath with the Certificate of Authenticity
card that comes with each knife. No replacements will be given without
the Certificate of Authenticity Card and the associated record number on
it. Scratches, blade chips, broken knife tips, blade edge dings, wear
& tear, re-sharpening errors, corrosion, rusting, pitting,
carbon-burs, and tarnish of the knife are not covered by the guarantee.
The sheaths are not covered by the replacement guarantee.
SECONDS AND KNIVES SOLD WITH DEFECTS: The
Lifetime Replacement Guarantee is VOID on defective items and will come
with a special Certificate of Authenticity denoting it is not covered
under the replacement.
PAYMENT POLICY: Please
pay in 4 days after winning our items. There is no other selling format
in the world that allow grace on payment other than eBay. On the 5th
day, Unpaid Item Reminders will be opened on all sales.
COMBINED SHIPPING: You can combine items into shipping boxes to save money. If
you win 2 knives, these will go in a flat rate box for 12.90. You will
not save on the postage unless you buy 3 or more items.
A quality of 3-7 knives, 13" and under overall length knives, can fit
in a Medium Flat Rate Box for $13.90. 8 - 12, 13"-18" knives can fit in a
Large Flat Rate Box for $18.90. Larger swords and some machetes will be
determined by weight due to their lengths being larger than the box.
Some of our swords and larger axes do not fit in large flat rate boxes
and will ship using Priority Mail by weight and your zip code. At anytime the post office raises rates, so will our prices.
HOW OUR DAMASCUS IS MADE: All
our Damascus is real and not just an acid etch. Damascus is a mixture
of 1095HC or 1084HC and 15N20 nickel carbon. You heat them up together
and then fold the bar over and over to get the desired layers, ours are
512 layers. Then you burn the blade in acid, and it turns the nickel
satin color and the high carbon turns blackish gray. This is how the
layers are exposed to show the layers of the new steel created coined
"Damascus". All Damascus is acid etched to show the layers. If you high
polish the metal it will be shinny satin like all steels. Only after
you burn the sides of the blade with acid do you see the layers of the
two steels. Makes sense? After we make our knives we high polish the
handles and put an edge on the blade. The high polishing buffs off the
acid burned layer of the handle, and the blade edge is sharpened and the
acid burned edge becomes satin. You can re-burn the tang of the blade
near the handles and the edge of the blade and it will show the layers
once more.
UNITED STATES POST OFFICE: When
we print the postage label there is a number that is on the label. This
number is called a "Delivery Confirmation Number". The post office is
not like UPS or FEDX where they scan the mail at the receipt point and
then track it to your door. What the post office does is scan the item
when it is delivered (if they choose to) and then you will see that it
was delivered. Sometimes they do scan it when you drop it off, but this
is rare. If they did scan it at a sorting facility, you see it moving
across the USA. But this is very rare.
-
eBay confuses the buyer with the "tracking number" next to the post
offices "delivery confirmation number" when in reality there is not a
tracking number. You can ask this at the post office and they will
concur. We print labels off the internet using eBay's USPS shipping
program and then we drop the packages off at the post office, similar if
you were mailing a stamped letter. The post office is supposed to scan
it "received" and they do this about 50% of the time. But sometimes they
do not scan them. Do not worry, we did mail the item and it is on it's
way to you.
BUYER FEEDBACK AND (DSR) SCORES: We
spend a lot of time trying to describe our knives 100% perfect in
detail, but sometimes we miss things. In the event that we missed
something, upon inspection of the item when you receive it, let us know
by contacting us via the "Contact Seller" link (next to our user ID
profile) and allow us to solve your problem before leaving us low DSR
scores (Detailed Seller Ratings) or neutral and negative feedback.
-
Help us, help ourselves to do better, with our future business on eBay
by allowing us to correct our faults and fix the sale with you to a
positive. We need to keep our scores high (4's and 5's) to continue to
offer our great knives for sale on eBay.
KNIFE CARE and SHEATHS: Leather
sheaths pull moisture out of the air and tend to rust knife blades if
not stored properly. When you are done using the knife, store it away
from the leather sheath and put gun oil, Seal1, or a similar protectant
on the blade and store. Damascus, 1095HC, and D2 can rust and develop
stains if not lubricated.
