Materials - I do suply the best materials from what I have on hand included in the Basics, or you can send your own
Labor - is never the same, so can not be set in stone, about 8 hours, some over 20.

Some knives will need extra work which may be discovered only after the disassembly - for example:
If multiple blades, springs, bolsters, large custom size MOP scales, or frame liners replacement is required,
your final cost may be over $400.00 US

Before you submit the Repair form make sure that you have a rough idea what it will cost you.

Turn around - The knife is usualy repaired within a week from arrival. The return depends on the customer urgency to have it in specific time frame, and country.
Domestic (Canada) shipping is the next day after completion of work, or for US customer on my next trip to US, shipping it from US.
