Starting with new builds in 2021, I am offering two spots per month that will allow individuals the ability to customize their own BMKT build. This will be a co-build process where the individual will receive a tailored experience. Before the build begins, each detail will be nailed down and solidified, and at each step of the build, photos and video will be shared.
Monthly spots will open and be available on November 29th, 2020 @ 10:00AM CST.
At the beginning of each month, I will contact the individuals for the following month to get their build details started. This will provide time for back-and-forth discussion as well as time to order in materials, if required. I will do my best to ship the knife in the month that was purchased, but I cannot guarantee that this will happen.
A new logomark will be used to signify that it was co-built and each knife will receive a serialized certificate card. The logomark is TBD, but will be published before January's knife is completed.
Some of the customizable options are:
Model: EDC1 (Bowie, Wharncliffe, Sheepsfoot, Tanto, Droppoint), Ember, Atlas or Father Hunter
Grind style: full flat, hollow, sabre, chisel
Blade steel: AEB-L, Nitro-V, 1095, or 01 Tool Steel
Blade finish: satin flats + belt finished bevel, media blasted + tumbled, dark wash + tumbled or dark wash + aggressive tumble
Handle liner: wide variety to choose from
Handle material: micarta, G10 or a mix of both
Handle style: stacked, or combination
Handle pins: wide variety to choose from
Handle lanyard tube: wide variety to choose from
Because of the tailored nature of the builds, this is not an exhaustive list and more customizing can occur during the build planning process.
Unless otherwise discussed, the cost of the build will range from $260 to $350 + shipping. There is no up-charge for the co-build process, unless the materials cost more than a typical build. A deposit of $130 will be required, with the remainder owing when the knife has been completed. An invoice for the build will be sent once the knife is completed, and won't ship until paid in full.
Please note, the deposit is refundable at my discretion. Below are a few examples.
I will not refund a deposit once the build process has started
I will not refund a deposit if special materials have been purchased for the build
I will refund the deposit if the build is months out from being started, and I can still fill the monthly spot
If you have any question, contact me at hello@bmkt.ca.
