How to Buy
To order from our Online Shop, simply choose the design you want and call or text us at 770-530-7655 or you can use the Contact Form. We will discuss whether you want your knife shipped to you or to pick it up at our shop at Lakewood 400.
There is a cost for shipping but you save that at our shop.
We can take most credit cards over the phone, or PayPal to secure your treasure. We feel that this is a safer method.
You may also choose to place a custom order, which we can discuss by email or phone.
Accessories
There isn't much Lorenzo can't create out of wood! You may want to add a display box such as the one shown in our slide show under custom orders, made for 3 Ulus. Since cutting boards are all the rage today, you may want to order a special board of unique woods and incorporate a matching cheese knife, or a small, medium, or large Ulu for chopping herbs and for making of guacamole set in a dough bowl. These make unique hostess gifts or just an addition to your own collection.
Custom Orders
The knives above are just a sampling of the pieces I’ve created.
My designs are unique! I wake in the morning with a design in my head, put it down on paper; cut a wooden template, then get to work!
For handles, I’ve been known to incorporate materials I’ve picked up at our junkyards such as brass lamp fittings and plumbing bits, marrying these with local & exotic woods, (Olive Wood, Osage, Padauk, Lacewood, Yellow or Purple Heart). I’ve also been known to add micarta for a pop of color on a few pieces, as well as mosaic pins for a bit of jewelry! Most of my handles have a lovely, sensual contour that fits the hand beautifully!
Custom orders are always welcome. We can discuss your desires, work up a plan and I’d be more than happy to accommodate your vision. Custom Chef’s Knives in sets of 4 - 8 with a magnetic strip on a backing to match the handles. We can decide on the woods used for handles and any accent color used. I can also make display pieces to show off your blade, and if you’d like a matching accessory such as a display box or cutting board. We’ll come to an agreed-upon price and I would require a 50% deposit to get started.
