DS&S - an American company

Requesting the creation of a DS&S knife is like commissioning any piece of artwork.

 

We take great pride in our work and are deeply honored to have the opportunity to create something of timeless beauty and power for you.

 

We go that extra distance in all our projects that no one else dares to attempt. We will make you something which is perfect for you, and which may be passed down through the generations in your family - something legendary.

Getting Started

  1. Know what you want. First and foremost, discuss this with us at length before the start of the project. We can do a lot here - but to know what will suit you, we must know the things you like and don't like. And we must know what your expectations are.
  2. Full payment in advance. (See our current Paymet Method.) All projects - be they a small, simple pocket knife for a friend or relative, a display piece for your office, or a durable, efficient and deadly combat knife - are all begun the same way. The reason for this is mainly due to materials. because we use the rare and exotic in our art, it is usually necessary to order these items from various remote locations around the globe. Most of these things come from places people rarely visit - some come to us from across the span of thousands of years in time.
  3. Stay informed. We keep you informed via e-mail, in words and photos, at every stage of development during your project. We do this fairly regularly, unless there's a nuclear exchange, a collision with an asteroid, or an abduction by Bigfoot, UFOs or the nice men in the Black Helicopters.
  4. Return of a custom item is impossible. We cannot sell your dreams to other people. Bad movie producers, politicians and other unsavory individuals do that. We don't. So what happens if you don't like the piece of artwork you receive? Well, that shouldn't ever be in question, because we are keeping you regularly informed. You will know what you are getting. If something doesn't look right during the project, fire off an internet flare. We'll be watching for it - and so will the father of the Internet, Al Gore.

    NOTE: Other people watching for your internet missive may include - but not limited to - President Obama, Homeland Security, a handful of administration Czars, North Korea, China, the FSB (which is the former KGB - but they haven't changed much except for their acronym), and maybe the nice men in Black Helicopters and the UFO aliens with whom they conspire.


  5. Remove your tinfoil hat. We do read minds, but if you're wearing your tinfoil hat, your thoughts are shielded, and we can't properly apply our remote viewing powers. Along these lines, if you call us, get all the marbles out of your mouth before placing the call, and speak to us normally - not like Monty Python's "Knights who say Ni." We will not bring you a shrubbery, anyway, no matter how you ask us.
