Products & Descriptions

 

Product Accuracy

We make every effort to ensure that product descriptions, images, specifications, and pricing on our website are accurate and up to date. However, we do not warrant that all product descriptions, photographs, pricing, or other content on our site are completely error-free.

Product images are for illustrative purposes only and may differ slightly from the actual item due to photography lighting, screen color calibration, or minor manufacturing variations. Blade lengths, handle dimensions, and material specifications are sourced from manufacturers and are believed to be accurate but are not guaranteed.

Product Availability

All products are offered subject to availability. We reserve the right to limit quantities, discontinue products, or modify product offerings at any time without notice. If a product becomes unavailable after your order is placed, we will notify you promptly and offer a full refund or suitable substitute at your discretion.

Collectibles & Pre-Owned Items

Some items sold by Charlie's Knives are pre-owned, vintage, or collectible in nature. These items are sold "as-is" and are described to the best of our ability. Condition notes in the product listing are part of the item description. Pre-owned items are generally not eligible for return unless the item was materially misrepresented in the listing.

Pricing & Payment

Pricing

All prices listed on charliesknives.com are in U.S. Dollars (USD) and are subject to change at any time without prior notice. The price charged for your order will be the price in effect at the time your order is confirmed. We reserve the right to correct pricing errors at any time.

In the event of a pricing error, we will contact you before processing your order and give you the option to purchase at the correct price or cancel your order for a full refund.

Sales tax will be applied to orders as required by applicable Texas state and local tax laws, as well as any applicable out-of-state nexus requirements. The applicable tax rate will be displayed during checkout prior to order completion.

We accept the following forms of payment:

  • Major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover)

If your payment is declined or reversed, your order will be placed on hold or cancelled. Fraudulent chargebacks or unauthorized payment disputes may result in account suspension, reporting to relevant authorities, and pursuit of recovery of outstanding amounts.

Orders & Cancellations

Order Confirmation

After submitting your order, you will receive an automated order confirmation email. This confirmation is an acknowledgment that we received your order — it is not an acceptance of the order or a guarantee of fulfillment.

Order Cancellations by Customer

You may request to cancel your order by contacting us at info@charliesknives.com as soon as possible after placing it.

We reserve the right to cancel any order at our discretion. If we cancel an order after payment has been collected, we will issue a full refund to your original payment method within 5–10 business days. We are not liable for any loss, cost, or damage arising from our cancellation of an order.

We ship to addresses within the contiguous United States. Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, PO Boxes, and APO/FPO addresses may be available for select items — please contact us before ordering. We do not ship internationally at this time.

Shipping Restrictions

Knives and edged tools are subject to varying laws by state, county, and municipality. It is your sole responsibility to know and comply with all local laws regarding the purchase, receipt, possession, and carry of any item ordered from our website.

Restricted Jurisdictions: Certain knife types (e.g., automatic/switchblade knives, ballistic knives, and knives over specified blade lengths) may be restricted or prohibited in your state or locality. By placing an order, you represent that receiving and possessing the item is legal in your location.

Estimated delivery timeframes are provided in good faith but are not guaranteed. Delivery delays caused by carriers, weather, holidays, or circumstances beyond our control do not entitle the customer to a refund of shipping charges. Full details are in our Shipping Policy.

Risk of Loss

Title and risk of loss for all products pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier. We are not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged packages once they have been accepted by the shipping carrier. If your package is lost or damaged in transit, please contact us and we will assist in filing a carrier claim.
