MENU PRICE GUIDE

This pricing guide is simply a general guide of services I provide and it displays the current available options at the relative price point. I understand you may require services above and beyond the package descriptions and I can custom tailor services for you. Whatever it is you may need including special requests, I will find a level of service to fit your budget and timeframe.

Please be aware that some knives are made to be replaced. I reserve the right to refuse any knife for any reason. Factory finishes may be altered. I do my best to preserve knives and match the finish to the original, or create a new uniform pattern.

Ultimately, a knife is a tool. Yet it is one that can be restored to a state of both function and beauty. Each knife is unique and with use, they take on their own character and charm. If you have any questions, please contact me anytime by phone or email
