How long will it take for me to receive my crab knives?

Normal production time is about two weeks. However, we've been known to make and ship the same day in rush situations. Just let us know when you need your order and we'll do everything we can to meet your deadline. We know how important deadlines are.

Will I receive a free proof after I place my order??

Yes. Whether we are designing your art from scratch or using a design you provided, we will send you a digital proof for your approval prior to production.

Can I order a sample crab knife before placing my larger order?

We always provide a digital proof of your mallets before production. Please email or call us at 800.750.9301 if you need a physical pre-production sample and we'll help with your sample order.

What is the size of the engraving area? What will and won't fit on my knife handles?

The usable decoration area on the wood handle is 2 inches wide by 0.5 inches high. You will want to avoid small details and very small text. The bigger the text and bolder the elements in your design, the better it will translate to the finished engraving. Please email your design if you want us to take a look at it and make our professional recommendations.

How do I clean my crab knives?

We recommend hand washing with soap and water and immediately fully drying with a towel. Do not run through the dishwasher.

Can you do unique names or information on each item?

For an additional fee, yes. We commonly do this for bridal parties and groomsmen gifts. Please call or email us for specific information and pricing.
