FAQ

We sharpen most of our blades at 20 degrees (40 inclusive) to provide a sharp, durable edge that works perfectly for everyday use.

Some blades, however, feature a steeper grind of 30 degrees (60 inclusive) designed for wider cuts. These include:

• Guardian
• Nightguard
• All Nightshades
• All Reverse Edges

And here’s the best part—we offer lifetime sharpening to keep your blade performing like it did on day one. Get started here.

If your blade is marked in-stock and isn’t a pre-order, our typical turnaround time is about 2 weeks.

Here’s the deal: Our knives are 100% American-made, which sometimes means delays due to material slowdowns. When this happens, we’ll let you know as soon as we’re aware. Honesty and transparency are just part of how we do business.

Because supporting hardworking Americans and delivering knives you can depend on is what we stand for. Here’s why we keep it 100% USA-made:

• Unmatched Quality: American-made materials meet the world’s highest standards. We won’t settle for less.
• Supporting Our Country: Every dollar we spend supports American workers who take pride in what they do.
• Personal Commitment: As a United States Marine, I signed up to defend this country, and supporting it through my business means everything to me.

At T.Kell Knives, being 100% American-made isn’t just a choice—it’s a promise.

When you pre-order a blade, it means the materials are in-house, and you’re reserving your knife while we finish the batch.

Here’s why we do it:

• Small Batches, Big Quality: We craft our blades in small batches to ensure every knife meets the highest standards.
• No Missed Opportunities: Pre-ordering guarantees you won’t miss out on a knife that sells out in minutes.

Pre-ordering isn’t just about reserving a blade—it’s about being part of the process that ensures it’s built to perfection.

We schedule pre-orders to ensure fairness and focus on quality. If a knife says “sold out,” it means the pre-order for that batch is currently closed.

Here’s how to stay in the loop:

• Sign up for our newsletter.
• Enable alerts for when new batches open for reservation.
