Frequently asked questions

Shipping, returns and what actually turns up in the box.

Ask us anything
How long will my order take?

Orders are dispatched within 2–5 business days. Delivery then runs 15–40 days, and around 80% of orders arrive inside 30. Tracking follows once it is available — it can lag a little behind dispatch.

Where does my order ship from?

Most pieces ship directly from our suppliers in China. Some stock is held in overseas warehouses, so the origin depends on your delivery address and what is available at the time.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, worldwide. Import duties and taxes may be charged by your local customs on delivery. These are not included in the order total.

Can I return a piece?

You have 30 days from delivery to start a return, and orders shipped into the EU also carry the 14-day right to cancel. Email skin2life@hotmail.com and we will send instructions and a return label. Pieces need to be unused and in their original packaging.

Are the knives sharp?

No. Every knife is an unsharpened trainer with no cutting edge — stainless steel with the edge left blunt, made for display and flipping practice rather than use. Please never grind or sharpen one. Rules on owning and carrying knife-shaped objects vary by country, so check yours before ordering; balisongs in particular are restricted in some places.

How do you make the products?

Most are die-cast metal handicrafts, finished by hand — my team and I spray the paint onto each piece ourselves. A few are made with automated equipment such as CNC machines and 3D printers. Most of these weapons are fictional and do not exist in real life, so they also have to be redesigned before they can be built at all.
