How long will it take for my order to ship?
Our goal is to ship most orders out within 2-3 business days from time of order via customer selected shipping solution.
Please note that we make all LNW parts one-at-a-time. On occasion, we may fall behind on production and need a few extra days to get all of the parts in an order complete and in the mail. We do our best to minimize this occurence, but because we produce what we sell, it does happen from time to time.
Gear Drop orders may take 5-10 business days to ship. This is due to the increase in order volume following Gear Drops or during the holiday season. You can learn more about our shipping here.
I have a question about whether a specific clip will fit my knife. How do I find out?
We list all known compatible models on each clip styles' individual page at LynchNW.com/clips. You can use the Filters menu on the Clips page to select your knife model and see a filtered list of compatible clips. However, there are certainly cases where we miss listing a compatible clip for a knife model. If you don't see your knife, or are still unsure, please email Lynch@LynchNW.com.
What should I know about the handling and care of titanium?
Most of our parts are made of grade 5 (6AL-4V) titanium. Though TI is a very corrosion-resistant material by nature, all parts will benefit by receiving some maintenance and care.
Stonewashed titanium will darken slightly from oils from your hands and other environmental contaminants. A bit of Windex and a wipedown with a soft cloth will bring back the shine.
Anodized titanium is not a 'hard use' finish, and will show wear with use. Scratches in the surface color are unfortunately unavoidable in most situations where the parts are used and carried daily.
In addition, anodized TI is susceptible to discoloration from oxidation caused by oils from your hands, specifically in the blue range (purple, 'blurple', and royal blue). A wipedown with Windex and a soft cloth will typically bring the color back.
Why is your brand and model selection limited to only certain knives?
I'm afraid I've fallen behind on getting new clip models out, but we have recently added space and capabilities to our shop, and our goal is to start adding new models more regularly. If you have a suggestion of a knife that you think we should make a clip for, please email Thomas. We are happy to hear your suggestions.
The part I'm looking for is not in stock. How do I find out when you'll have more?
There is a 'Waitlist Sign Up' option for any parts that are out of stock that we will be making more of in the future. Go to the desired item on the website, select desired finish and then click the Waitlist Sign Up button. You'll be able to input your email to be added to our ‘Restock‘ email list for that item. Please feel free to email Thomas any time with questions about timelines and availability.
I'm looking for a black clip or prybar & don't see any available. How do I get one in black?
We are offering a new in house black finish called blacksmith. To learn more about our finishes please see our finish faq. We're also working to keep black Cerakote (and other coated colors) in stock continually. Our goal is to lessen the gap between availability of the Cerakoted finishes. There is a 'Waitlist Sign Up' option for any parts that are out of stock that we will be making more of in the future. Anyone who signs up for a waitlist will receive an email as soon as we re-stock that specific product. Please feel free to email Thomas any time with questions about timelines and availability.
Do you ship to international customers? How long do international packages take to arrive?
We ship overseas on a daily basis and can ship to most countries. All international shipments are covered by LynchNW Shipment Protection. You can also buy directly from our International Partners listed on our Partners page. Actual transit time varies based on location for our international shipments.
USPS is the least expensive option for overseas packages, but can take anywhere from 2 - 6 weeks, depending on the destination. UPS and DHL are much faster (typically less than a week), but much more expensive. You can check shipping options/prices in the 'Checkout' section of the purchase page.
PLEASE NOTE: USPS International Service has been suspended or affected to several countries. Please click HERE for more information.
Many countries have their own customs charges, tariffs, duties, and taxes on incoming packages. We don't have any control over those fees. When those fees are charged to the recipient, they are charged by the shipping service and/or the local customs office. Because we ship to so many countries, and because each country's customs regulations are unique, we are not able to keep up with that information, or what those fees may total. Please consult your local shipping authorities or customs office for more information.
Please be aware that we cannot under-declare the value of packages or mark them as anything but merchandise. The value on customs forms will match the amount on your invoice.
You can learn more about LynchNW shipping policies and information here.
Do you do any custom work?
Our ability to do custom work depends on how busy the shop is, and what the specific request entails, but we do our best to accommodate if we can. Please send any inquiries to Casey@LynchNW.com.
What does your warranty cover?
Our lifetime warranty covers any and all manufacturer issues, as well as any damage sustained during intended use (including bent clips, no matter how it happened). Our warranty applies to the original owner/purchaser, but we always do our best to accommodate individual and unique circumstances.
Our philosophy is to fully stand behind our product and make the solution for warranty issues as quick and easy as possible. We understand that a customer who isn't happy with a resolution is one who won't be coming back. If one of our parts falls short in any way, please let us know so we can make it right.

I can't find my receipt for a purchase from LynchNW or an authorized dealer. Can I warranty it?
We understand that you can't keep every receipt. If you can't find a Proof of Purchase, please fill out our Warranty Request Form and we'll consider your situation on a case by case basis. Let us know where you purchased the part, and send a couple photos so we can verify details about the part in question. On occasion, if a part was purchased from an unverified source (eBay, the secondary market, Reddit, etc) there may be a chance it's a clone or a fake, but we can typically tell from photos.
Do you sell replacement hardware?
If you have purchased a product from us we are happy to send out replacement hardware, typically at no charge, depending on the circumstance. Please email Lynch@LynchNW.com with any requests. We are hoping to offer different hardware packs for sale in the future.
Can I anodize a part myself, or have another maker anodize/Cerakote it? Will that void the warranty?
Anodizing or Cerakoting the parts will not void the warranty. Please feel free to do that. Modifications that will void the warranty include the intentional removal of material (grinding, engraving, etc) or using heat or flame to try to heat anodize color the part.

Are LynchNW clips better than standard OEM clips?
The OEM parts that our clips or scales are designed to replace are almost universally beautifully made and impeccably engineered items. As such, we hold OEM manufacturers in the highest regard. It is our viewpoint that our parts are not 'upgrades', per se, but 'alternatives'.
A note: Though we may use manufacturer's names for the identification of fitment for some of our parts, LynchNW has no affiliation - unless otherwise noted - with OEM (original equipment manufacturers) brands or makers.
