About Tariffs and VAT
Tariffs and VAT are established by the customs authorities of the country or region where the goods are purchased, and are based on the country of manufacture and the goods. Classification determines the amount of duty fees.
The amount you pay at the time of purchase does not include local customs duties and VAT, which may or may not be levied at the discretion of the local customs office.

About pre-orders
Pre-orders typically take between 30 to 365 days to produce, depending on the forging process and finish of the desired knife.
As a rule, pre-orders cannot be canceled after payment, as these items are of limited quantity and made specifically by commissioning a craftsman.
If you must cancel for personal reasons within the production period, a 30% cancellation fee will be applied. However, if the order is not fulfilled within the specified production timeframe, it may be canceled without any handling fee.
How do I maintain my knife?
Wipe dry after use. Avoid acidic ingredients. Hand wash only with neutral detergent. Do not use dishwashers. For carbon steel, apply oil to prevent rust.
