Group Buying Power
We pool members together to unlock wholesale pricing on premium knives. The more people who join, the lower the price goes.
We Source the Deal
We negotiate directly with distributors and manufacturers to secure exclusive group pricing on popular knives. These are deals you can't get anywhere else - pricing normally reserved for dealers buying in volume.
Example: We approach a distributor about a Spyderco Paramilitary 2 group buy. If we can guarantee 50+ units, they'll give us dealer pricing at $98/unit instead of the standard $140 wholesale.
You Pledge Your Interest
When a group buy opens, you pledge for the quantity you want. We save your payment method but don't charge you yet. Your pledge reserves your spot and helps us hit the goal.
Zero risk: Your card is authorized but not charged until the group buy succeeds. If we don't hit the goal, you're never charged a penny.
Price Drops as More Join
Most group buys have tiered pricing. As more members pledge, the price unlocks to lower tiers. Watch the progress bar and share with friends to unlock the best possible price.

Deal Closes & You're Charged
When the group buy window ends and the goal is met, everyone is charged the final unlocked price. We place the order with the distributor and ship directly to you once inventory arrives.
Typical timeline: Group buys run 7-14 days. After closing, expect 2-4 weeks for delivery depending on distributor stock.
Why This Model Works
Distributors give better pricing for larger orders. By pooling 50-100 members, we access dealer-level pricing that individuals could never get.
We don't hold inventory or guess what people want. You tell us what you want, and we only order what's already pledged. Zero waste, maximum efficiency.
We add a small markup (5-10% based on tier) to cover operations. No retail markups, no price games. What we pay is close to what you pay.
Common Questions
You're never charged. Your payment method authorization expires and that's it. We may re-run the group buy later with adjusted goals.
Yes, you can cancel anytime before the group buy closes. Once it closes and reaches its goal, pledges are final and charges are processed.
Typically 7-14 days. Each group buy page shows the exact end date and time. Elite members get 24-hour early access before Standard members.
Memberships fund our operations and allow us to negotiate deals upfront. It also ensures committed buyers - distributors require guaranteed orders, not wishlists.
