Does NOT having PayPal on our site stop you from buying our knives?
Here's why we don't currently offer PayPal...
In October 2022. PayPal released an updated version of its Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), which included a clause stating that users could face a $2,500 fine for spreading "misinformation" or other forms of prohibited content. And they didn't really define what that actually meant.
While PayPal withdrew the policy shortly after posting it because of blowback, it showed what their intentions were.
In our experience, targeting like that typically applies to the knife business and anyone else with conservative-based customers / audiences. We fall under those categories.
Ever since that, Andy Roy has wanted to stay away from supporting their business any further.
We've gone through enough discrimination from other payment processors, social media, advertisers, etc... Andy decided to get ahead of that one before it chose to be a problem.
Can you imagine? STEALING $2,500 of YOUR money because you share information or an opinion online?!

But we want to hear from you...
Do you still use PayPal exclusively to buy knives?
Does a knife-maker not accepting PayPal ever stop you from buying knives from them?
