UPDATE – (January 2023) I am now selling on Etsy.
I only have a few items up at time of writing, but will be adding more in the coming weeks. You can still message me directly to order if you can’t find what you are looking for in my shop, or if you don’t want to deal with Etsy. Total price with shipping is the same whether you go through Etsy or DM me.
UPDATE – (Oct 3, 2022) I am back in the US and I am now accepting lock pick and ring orders.
Ordering / Shipping Policies
Prices are in US dollars and do not include shipping.
I accept payment through PayPal, Venmo, or cryptocurrency (BTC or ETH).
Please pay within 48 hours of finalizing the order. If no payment has been received and there has been no communication, after 48 hours the order will be canceled and the item(s) may be offered to another buyer.
I am located in the US. If you are ordering from another country you are responsible for any import taxes your country may charge.
In stock items generally ship within two days of receiving payment, excluding weekends and holidays. Custom picks and jewelry are made to order and take some time to complete. Custom made items will take a minimum of two weeks to complete. An estimated turnaround time will be given during the design consultation.
***NOTE- The return policy for lock picks and jewelry is different***
In stock lock picks may be returned within one week of receipt for a refund or exchange, provided they are in the original condition. Contact me before making any returns.
Custom Lock Pick Policies
Lock picks take time to make. The minimum turnaround time is two weeks. An estimated turnaround will be given during the design consultation. This is an estimation based on how much other work I already have to do, and not a guarantee. If you need your pick by a certain date, please tell me this when you are placing the order and I will let you know if I can accommodate.
Payment in full is required before work will begin on custom orders.
I do not accept returns or exchanges on custom picks.
How To Place A Custom Lock Pick Order
A custom pick is a pick that is made to your specifications. Some of the things that can be customized are: handle design, handle materials, pick profile, pick steel and thickness, tang length (the part of the pick blade that goes into the handle), handle carving, or inlay.
To get an idea of the kind of things I have made, I recommend looking at the Portfolio page on this website, and my Instagram account (link at the bottom of this page), which is frequently updated. If you have an idea for something you have never seen me do before, send me a message and we can see if I can make it happen.
I mostly use wood for my handles and have a fairly large selection of wood that is always changing. If you have seen something you like, send me a picture. Or if you can let me know the colors you like, I can make suggestions.
Certain weaker woods (burls mostly) I will only make with a full tang to give more strength to the handle.
Some other materials I use are: micarta, brass, and sterling silver.
For the pick blade I currently have 1095 high carbon steel, available in any thickness up to 0.025″, and 301 high yield stainless steel (from Law Lock Tools) available in 0.019″ and 0.023″.
Pricing for custom picks will depend on the design and materials used. Partial tang picks start at $140 each, full tang picks start at $155 each.

Locksport Jewelry
Locksport jewelry can be ordered through my Etsy shop or you can contact me directly.
Rings are available in sterling silver. Gold (any karat) is also available as a special order option. Rings are solid sterling silver (or gold) and fairly heavy. Silver rings are priced around $100 – $200. Shipping is $10 for priority mail in the US. Contact me for shipping costs to other countries.
I have a new Instagram account for my jewelry. :
Ring Sizes
I will need to know your ring size before I can start on your ring. If you do not know your ring size, the best way to find out is to go to a jeweler and ask them to check your ring size, or buy a finger gauge.
Finger gauges come in narrow and wide versions. Check your size with whichever is closest to the width of the ring you plan to buy.
Jewelry Care
The sterling silver rings have had a patina applied to the recessed areas of the designs. Usually the patina comes out as a mix of black, gray, brown, gold, or blue. Over time, these areas, along with the rest of the ring, will darken more. If you want to repolish the ring, take care not to polish the recessed areas. DO NOT use silver dips, liquid or paste polishing compounds. Use a chemically treated polishing cloth and lightly rub the high areas of the design. Or you can just leave the ring as it is and let it naturally darken over time.
Do you lift, bro? Always take off your rings before lifting weights. The knurling on the steel bars will destroy rings very quickly.
Remove your jewelry before going swimming. Chlorine in swimming pools can damage your silver (or gold) jewelry. Sterling silver contains 92.5% silver (hence, the “925” stamp you often see on sterling jewelry) with the remainder usually being copper. Chlorine can dissolve the copper in the alloy, leaving the metal porous and weak.
Jewelry Return Policy
***NOTE- The return policy for lock picks and jewelry is different***
Exchanges- If you got the wrong ring size, you can send it back to me within 30 days and I will size the ring or replace it (at my discretion) with the correct size.
Refunds- If you are not happy with your selection for any reason you may return it for a full refund within 30 days. Piece must be in new condition. There are no refunds on custom or engraved jewelry pieces.
Return or Exchange shipping- You pay to return anything to me, and if it’s an exchange, I pay to return it to you within the continental US (up to $10 shipping). For customers outside of the US I will pay $10 of the return shipping cost and you will be charged for the remainder. For ring sizing I will pay this return shipping one time. If you are still not happy with the size, you will be charged for any more return shipping costs.
Please use a shipping method with tracking and delivery confirmation. Contact me before making any returns or exchanges.
