Custom Knife Ordering
The Custom Knife Process
From first inquiry to your door — here is how every Louis Martin order works.
Ordering a custom knife from Louis Martin takes six steps: inquire by phone or form, specify steel and handle, receive a quote, we hand-forge the blade at our own facility, it is finished and inspected in the USA, and it ships to your door. Most inquiries get a response within 24 hours.
Six Steps
How It Works
Submit an Inquiry
Fill out the contact form or call (631) 898-4249. Tell us the knife type, steel preference, handle material, and intended use. No pressure, no minimum.
We Confirm Availability & Pricing
We respond within 24 hours with pricing, lead time, and any questions. Custom wholesale orders get a detailed quote.
Blade Specification
For custom or wholesale orders, we finalize blade steel (Damascus 1095/15N20, D2, 440C, 1080HC), profile, bevel type, handle material, and finish.
Production at Our Dedicated Facility
Every knife is hand-forged to our specification at our own dedicated facility, then finished, inspected, and shipped from the USA. Not off a shelf. Not a resell.
Quality Inspection
Each shipment is inspected on arrival. Edge geometry, fit, finish, and hardness are checked against spec. Anything that doesn't meet standard doesn't ship.
Shipped from East Northport, NY
Orders ship from East Northport, NY via tracked carrier. You get tracking info as soon as your package leaves.
