Most of our knives are cut by waterjet. We then grind, heat treat and finish each knife by hand. No two knives are exactly the same. We strive to put out the best product we can and will never intentionally allow a defective product to leave our shop. That being said, there may be minor imperfections on your handmade knife. Blemishes, uneven grind lines, wavy lines, tool markings, and etc are only surface blemishes and will not affect the performance of your knife. If an imperfection is present, it is not to be considered as a "manufacturer's defect".

RETURNS
We cannot accept cancellations or returns... (I changed my mind. I can't afford it. My wife is mad. etc, etc) All sales are final. Please make sure you want the knife before you purchase it. We are however happy to warranty our knives to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 1 year to the original owner. See below.
WARRANTY
We are happy to warranty our knives to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 1 year to the original owner. The knife must have been purchased directly from the Malone Knives website (www.maloneknives.com) and you must supply your original MK order number and receipt.
- THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER ABUSE OR DELIBERATE DAMAGE. WE WILL NOT ACCEPT WARRANTY WORK ON ABUSED KNIVES
Examples of abuse include:
- Extreme use/testing such as throwing or standing on your knife.
- Using the knife as a prybar, hammer, screwdriver, pick, shovel or any other unintended use it is not designed for. Knives are tools and should be respected as such. There is a right tool for the job and a knife is not always the right tool.
Please contact us before sending any item for warranty, if you experience an issue or have any concerns.
We STRONGLY recommend using a trackable method of shipping when sending any items to us.

Not likely. Our production is based on a variety of different factors including availability of materials, current workload and sometimes just our creative mood. Some knives you see on social media are made from one-off materials that we may never be able to find or get again. As we complete these style of knives they will be listed under “Available Knives”. They are first come first served.

We are NOT a large manufacturer, we are only 2 people in a small shop. Our knives are made one at a time by hand. As with any handmade item, it takes time to complete them. Availability will vary based on our current workload, which is always changing. Please check back often.

No. If we do this for one person we have to do it for everyone. In order to keep things fair for anyone wanting a knife, all blades are first come, first served. You just have to keep an eye on the listings and be the first one to buy it.

Knife blades are mostly made from O1 Tool Steel, 1095, AEB-L or CPM154. There too many different materials to list them all here. Please check the description in each individual knife listing for a list of materials used on that particular knife.

No. Folding knives are an entirely different monster and we are just not setup to make them. Maybe in the future we will expand, but for now – fixed blade knives only.

Unless otherwise stated in the individual knife listing, our knives do not come with sheaths. We leave sheath making to the experts. We have partnered with Badger Claw Outfitters and their handmade sheaths may be ordered through our website. There is no need to send them your knife as they have patterns for most of our regular knife models.
If you would prefer a different style sheath, you will need to seek out the vendor and style of your preference. You will likely need to send your knife to them.
For Kydex sheaths we recommend Tobacco Road Adventures.

With any high carbon steel, you can expect your blade to discolor over time. As it gets used, it will develop a natural patina which is a form of protective oxidation. Patina is natural and should not only be expected but embraced. It tells the story of where your knife has been and all the things it has done for you. The patina will also help protect it from rusting.

If you prepare food with your knife we recommend using Blade Balm
If you do not use your knife for food prep, 3-in-1 oil works nicely.
