Terms of service

The agreement between you and BSTKNIVES LLC. It covers this site, our TikTok and Whatnot sales, memberships and every direct order.

Last updated 2026. BSTKNIVES LLC, P.O. Box 1223, Kaneohe, HI 96744 — justin@bstknives.com. This page is our store policy, not legal advice.

Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Service are a binding agreement between you and BSTKNIVES LLC ("BST," "we," "us"). They cover this website and every order placed with us — on this site, through our TikTok Shop or TikTok LIVE sales, through our Whatnot shows and auctions, through Instagram, and by direct or invoiced sale. By using this site, placing an order, bidding, or claiming an item in a live stream, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the site or buy from us.

Age requirement — 18+ only

You must be at least 18, or the minimum legal age for bladed goods where you live if that age is higher. We gate this site on entry and every blade order requires an adult signature at delivery. You represent that you are of legal age, buying for yourself, and not buying for a minor or a prohibited person. We may request identification at any time. Orders that fail age or identity checks are cancelled and refunded in full, and the account may be permanently banned.

Blade laws and where we ship

Knife and sword laws vary by country, state, county and city, including limits on blade length, locking and assisted mechanisms, automatics, balisongs, double-edged and fixed blades, and swords. You are solely responsible for knowing and following the law where the package lands and where you carry or store the item. By ordering you certify the item is legal for you to purchase, receive, own and possess at your delivery address. We will cancel and refund rather than ship a restricted blade type into a jurisdiction that prohibits it, and we do not ship blades internationally unless we confirm the route in writing first.

Orders, pricing and payment

Prices are in USD and may change without notice. Placing an order is an offer we may accept or decline; we may correct pricing, description or availability errors and cancel affected orders with a full refund. Sales tax is applied where required. You are responsible for import duties, VAT and brokerage fees on any shipment we agree to send outside the United States. Payments are handled by our payment and platform processors; we do not store full card numbers. Fraudulent orders, abusive chargebacks and reseller abuse may be refused or banned.

Shipping and risk of loss

Orders ship within two business days unless a listing or live show says otherwise. Blades ship sharpened, oiled and sheathed where a sheath is included. Adult signature is required and we cannot authorize doorstep drops on blade orders. Title and risk of loss pass to you on carrier delivery. Carrier delays, weather, customs holds and seizures are outside our control; if a shipment is seized because the item is restricted at your address, no refund is owed.

Live sales, auctions and blind boxes

On TikTok LIVE, Whatnot and any other live show, a winning bid or an accepted claim is a binding purchase and payment is due immediately through that platform's checkout. Non-payment, retracted bids and chargebacks on won lots may result in a ban across our channels. Auction wins, giveaway prizes, mystery items and blind boxes are final sale and non-returnable. Blind boxes are sold by advertised tier and guaranteed floor value only — specific models, patterns, makers or resale values are never promised. Live descriptions are given in good faith in real time; the written listing, invoice or platform record controls. Sales made on TikTok or Whatnot are also governed by those platforms' buyer-protection, payment and dispute policies.

Memberships and subscriptions

Where we offer a Blade Club membership, it bills on a recurring basis at the rate shown at signup until you cancel. Cancel before the next billing date to stop future charges; the current cycle is not prorated, and boxes already shipped or prepared are not refundable. Contents, makers and specific models are curated at our discretion within the advertised tier and value floor. Founding pricing and engraving benefits apply only while a member's subscription stays active and uncancelled. We may change future pricing or contents with notice before the change takes effect.

Product descriptions, photos and condition

Steel types, hardness, layer counts, origin and maker information come from our suppliers and smiths and are passed along in good faith. Damascus and hand-forged items are unique: pattern, etch contrast, handle grain, color and dimensions vary from photos, and hand-finished pieces carry minor tool marks. Colors vary by screen. Vintage, antique and used items are sold as-is with described flaws. Nothing on this site is an appraisal, authentication or investment advice, and we make no representation about resale or collector value.

Warranty and disclaimer

Blades we sell as warrantied carry a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and heat treat, to the original purchaser, with proof of purchase, repaired or replaced at our option. The warranty excludes normal wear, edge dulling, chipping from misuse, patina, rust or corrosion from improper storage or dishwasher use, prying, throwing, batoning, impact damage, loss, theft, and third-party sharpening or modification. Except for that express warranty, products are provided "as is" and BSTKNIVES LLC disclaims all other warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, to the fullest extent the law allows.

Safe use and assumption of risk

Knives and swords are sharp tools that can cause serious injury or death. You accept full responsibility for safe handling, sharpening, storage away from children and unauthorized users, transport, and lawful carry and use. Swords, replicas and display pieces are sold for collecting and display, not as weapons, martial-arts trainers or safety-tested sporting equipment. Any cutting, sparring, throwing or stunt use is entirely at your own risk. You agree not to use, resell or transfer anything bought from us for any unlawful purpose and not to resell to minors or prohibited persons.

Limitation of liability and indemnity

To the maximum extent permitted by law, BSTKNIVES LLC, its owners, members, employees and contractors are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, or for lost profits, personal injury, property damage, legal fines or confiscation arising from the purchase, possession, carry, handling, modification or use of any product, or from your failure to comply with applicable blade laws. Our total aggregate liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the item giving rise to it. You agree to indemnify and hold BSTKNIVES LLC harmless from any claim, loss, penalty or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your breach of these terms or your unlawful or unsafe use of a product. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

Acceptable use of this site

Do not scrape, crawl at abusive rates, reverse engineer, probe or attack this site, bypass the age gate or any access control, impersonate us or another customer, upload malicious code, or use the site to break the law. We may suspend access, cancel orders and pursue remedies for any of the above.

Content, brand and user posts

The BST Knives name, logos, stamped marks, site copy, photography and video are the property of BSTKNIVES LLC and may not be copied, scraped or used commercially without written permission. If you tag us or send us photos or video, you grant BSTKNIVES LLC a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to repost and use that content in our marketing, on this site and on our social channels, with credit to your handle where practical, and you confirm you hold the rights and that any people shown consent. Email us to have your content removed and we will stop using it going forward. Copyright complaints: see our copyright notice section on this page — send a written DMCA notice with the work, the URL, your contact details, a good-faith statement and your signature to justin@bstknives.com.

Third-party platforms and links

Purchases you make on TikTok, Whatnot, Instagram or any other platform are also subject to that platform's terms and policies, and we do not control their checkout, fees or dispute process. Links to other sites are provided for convenience; we are not responsible for their content or practices.

Disputes, governing law and changes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Hawaii without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts serving Honolulu County, Hawaii. Contact us first — most issues are solved in one message, and we ask that you reach out before filing a chargeback or platform dispute. Claims must be brought within one year of the event giving rise to them, to the extent the law allows. We may update these terms at any time; the version posted when you order governs that order. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. These terms, plus our Privacy Policy, Returns Policy, SMS Terms and Cookie Notice, are the entire agreement between us.
