Frequently Asked Questions
At 9 Lazy 3, every knife is made with purpose, craftsmanship, and its own unique character. Below are answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.
Are your knives handmade?
Yes. Our knives are individually handcrafted, so no two are exactly alike. Small variations are part of what makes each knife unique.
Will my knife look exactly like the photo?
The blade style and overall design will match the product shown, but handle colors, patterns, textures, and natural markings may vary depending on the material used.
What handle materials do you use?
Handle materials vary by knife and may include bone, horn, antler, micarta, resin, cholla cactus, or other specialty materials. The specific material will be listed on each product page.
Do fixed blade knives include a sheath?
Yes. Every fixed blade knife includes a sheath of your choice unless otherwise stated in the product description.
Do folding knives include a sheath?
Folding knives do not include a sheath unless the product listing specifically states otherwise. Additional sheaths may be purchased separately.
Can I purchase an additional sheath?
Yes. Additional sheaths are available for purchase separately. Be sure to select the sheath designed to fit your specific 9 Lazy 3 knife style.
What type of steel do you use?
Steel varies by knife and may include stainless steel, 440C steel, D2 steel, or Damascus steel. The specific steel used will be listed in the product specifications.
What is a slip joint?
A slip joint is a traditional folding-knife mechanism that uses spring tension to help hold the blade open. It does not lock into place like a liner lock or lockback knife.
Are the knife measurements exact?
Because our knives are handmade and may use natural materials, measurements can vary slightly. Approximate blade and handle measurements are listed on each product page.
Do you offer engraving?
Engraving is available on select knives and products. Please review our engraving options or contact us before ordering if you have questions about a specific design.
Do you accept returns or exchanges?
Due to the handmade and one-of-a-kind nature of our knives, all handmade knife sales are final. We do not accept returns or exchanges. Please carefully review the product description, measurements, and photos before ordering. If your order arrives damaged or you receive the wrong item, contact us promptly so we can review the issue.
How should I care for my knife?
Keep your knife clean and dry after use. Apply a light coating of knife oil when needed, especially before long-term storage. Store fixed blade knives in a dry area and sharpen the blade as necessary using a quality knife sharpener.
How long will my order take to ship?
Most in-stock orders ship within 3 business days. Engraved or specialty items may require additional processing time.
