FAQ

Can I send you materials to have you use?

We primarily work with mono-steel for our blades, meaning each blade is forged from a single type of steel. While we appreciate the beauty of Damascus steel, creating it requires equipment beyond our current capacity (Aaron's arm is doing a great job for now, but we're dreaming of a power hammer!). Regarding handles, we can generally work with most materials you provide, as long as they are already stabilized. This stabilization process is crucial for preventing cracking and warping over time. We're currently exploring options for stabilizing antler and horn in-house, but we haven't quite mastered that process yet. So, for now, we ask that any antler or horn you wish to use is already stabilized before you bring it to us. In most cases, if your handle material is properly stabilized, we can make it work for your custom knife.

How do I use the Sharpening Service?

We stand behind the quality of our blades, which is why we offer free lifetime sharpening. If your Hester's Hollow knife needs a touch-up, simply send us a message. We can then arrange a convenient pickup if you're local, or help you find the most economical way to ship it back to us for its spa day. We're happy to get your blade back to its original sharpness, ready for whatever task you have in store for it.
