Question 1

Can I request a custom knife design?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Custom commissions are welcomed. Whether it’s a specific steel, handle material, blade shape, or personal engraving, Ben works closely with clients to bring their vision to life.

Question 2

Can I visit your workshop or see knives in person?

Accepted Answer

Visits are by appointment only. Occasionally, select pieces are displayed at shows or galleries. Join the mailing list to stay informed about upcoming events and releases.

Question 3

What materials do you use?

Accepted Answer

Only the finest materials are used—premium high quality stainless steels for blades, and exotic hardwoods, stabilized woods, or high-quality composites for handles. Every component is carefully selected for its durability, aesthetic appeal, and performance—and all materials are food-safe.

Question 4

Do you offer sharpening or maintenance services?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pedret Knives are built to hold a long-lasting edge, but even the finest blades benefit from occasional care. Sharpening is free—you just cover the shipping. Ben actually loves seeing his knives after they’ve spent some time in the wild; it’s like a reunion with an old friend that’s done some serious chopping. Feel free to reach out any time for edge restoration, maintenance, or care advice.

Question 5

How long does it take to complete a knife?

Accepted Answer

Timing depends on the complexity of the build and the current backlog, but most custom knives are completed within 6–10 weeks. Quality takes time, and each knife is crafted with care—not rushed off an assembly line. You'll receive updates along the way so you’re never left guessing.

Question 6

Do your knives come with a warranty?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Pedret knife is backed by a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and craftsmanship under normal kitchen use. While this doesn’t cover misuse, neglect, or damage from improper care, Ben stands behind his work and will do his best to repair or restore a damaged knife whenever possible.FAQs can be added to any page on your site or to your Wix mobile app, giving access to members on the go.

Question 7

How should I care for my knife?

Accepted Answer

Pedret knives are robust, high-performance tools built for serious kitchen use—but like any tool, they deserve a bit of care. Hand-wash only and store safely—ideally in a butcher block or on a magnetic strip—to protect the edge and maintain sharpness.

Fortunately, a well-made knife doesn’t ask for much—just a little respect, and it will serve you for a lifetime.

Question 8

Do you offer international shipping?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Knives can be shipped internationally where local regulations permit. All shipments are tracked and insured.

Question 9

Do you offer presentation cases or knife rolls?

Accepted Answer

Yes—both are available as optional add-ons. Presentation cases are perfect for display or gifting, while our handmade knife rolls are ideal for safe transport and everyday storage. Each is designed to complement the craftsmanship of your knife and protect it with the care it deserves.
