Jay Fisher - Fine Custom Knives

This page describes how to purchase a knife that is available on my current knives for sale pages. To find out how to custom order a knife, please click here.

If you're at this page then you've already decided on the fine knife you want. All of my current knives available for sale are either on my Knives for Sale page or my Tactical Knives for Sale page. The knives on these pages are available and ready to ship unless otherwise marked. I've included information on this page to make the transaction simple, easy, and fast.

How This Works

Purchasing a finished knife or a knife from my inventory is straightforward:

1. Email me to let me know you want the knife. Give me your shipping address for FedEx (no P.O. boxes please), and a contact telephone number (required for FedEx shipments) and I'll calculate the shipping charges and email you back with a total including the knife and shipping.
2. Decide on your method of payment, send or inform me of the payment details.
3. When I receive payment, I ship the knife. The knife is tracked to its destination.

I've use this simple method for over thirty years. Though I've tried different shippers, FedEx has been the best at tracking and insuring knives from their origin to their destination while delivering promptly and on time. Please visit my shipping page if you need more details.

Methods of Payment (United States)

Here is a list of the type of payments I accept if you are located in the United States of America:

In order of the most frequently used payment methods:

1. Zelle: Since about 2019, this has been the fastest, easiest, and most frequently used method of paying the deposit and the balance of a knife custom order. It's free and private and safe.
2. Wires (or Wire Transfers): I accept both domestic and international bank to bank wires (also called wire transfers). Domestic wires are usually verified in 24 hours, international wires take 3-5 business days. Contact me for routing numbers and account details. You'll incur an additional small fee for this service; that is what the bank charges for initiating the transfer. This is the very fastest, secure way to pay for an order, and in some cases, knives can be shipped the same day!
   Direct Bank Transfer Wells Fargo and USAA: If you have an account with Wells Fargo or USAA, you can directly transfer the payment right into my account. This may be the fastest, easiest way to pay for your knife. Daily limits may apply Contact me for account and routing number information.
3. Personal check: I accept personal checks, but my bank may take a few days for the check to clear. The completed knife is shipped the same day the check is cleared.
4. Cashier's check: You need to send it USPS FedEx, or UPS, signature confirmation for security purposes. Your completed knife order is shipped the same day the cashier's check is received.
5. Money order: Upon completion, your knife order is shipped the same day that your money order clears my bank, which may take a few days.
6. Cash: Yes, I do accept United States currency. You need to send it USPS FedEx, or UPS, signature confirmation for security purposes. Your completed knife order is shipped the same day the payment is received.
7. Western Union Transfers: This is a good way to directly wire money. A fee is charged by Western Union. Click here to find a location, worldwide. Western Union can also be used to wire money directly into my account, please email me for routing information.
8. MasterCard or Visa:
   Beginning in March of 2017, I stopped accepting credit cards for payments. The reason for this is because for over two years at that time, not one client had used a credit card to pay for their purchase! It made no sense for me to pay for a merchant account when none of my clients were using it. Clearly, direct wire transfer, PayPal, and checks are my client's preferred way of paying for their purchases, and they may well be using a credit card online through their bank to complete a wire transfer. I believe that in the future, electronic payments will be the main way that money and payments are made.
9. Payments or Layaways: I don't accept time payments (or layaway) for knives. I expect clients to have the balance due before the knife is delivered. The client can make arrangements with their credit card company, bank, credit union, or lending institution to pay the balance completely.

Methods of Payment (International)

I accept these international methods of payment:

• International wire transfers: Bank to bank transfers: contact me for routing numbers. You will incur a fee for this service, which varies from bank to bank. Make the transfers in US Dollars at the time of the transfer. In my experience, this has proven to be the fastest, surest way to pay for a knife project.
• Western Union Wires: Contact me for my location details or look up the nearest location at Western Union's website here. You will incur a modest fee for this transaction, it is a good way to pay for your knife. Make the wires in US Dollars. Western Union can also be used to wire money directly into my account, please email me for routing information.
• Credit cards: Due to international limitations, I cannot accept payments by credit card.
• Money orders: I cannot accept money orders that originate outside the United States of America.
• Shipping charges and methods: I ship FedEx to all locations. Shipping by FedEx is tracked and delivery is guaranteed. Read about my shipping on a special page here.

Important: the client is responsible for paying his own country's taxes, duties, and fees. These vary by country. Also important is to know if your country restricts or controls imports of knives, as I can not ship knives or all types of knives to every country.
