Terms & Conditions

Last updated: August 19, 2026

Acceptance of Terms

By placing an order on this site ("the Site"), operated by Master Grade, you agree to the terms below.

Products & Pricing

The Site sells I.O. Shen knives, gift sets, and sharpening stones. Listed prices exclude applicable tax, shipping, and handling (S&H), which are billed separately. We reserve the right to change pricing at any time; the price shown at checkout is the price you pay for that order.

Orders & Payment

Payment is processed securely by Stripe at the time of purchase. We accept credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Link. Your order is confirmed once payment is successfully processed.

Shipping & Handling

We currently ship to the continental United States only (the lower 48 states — not Alaska, Hawaii, or US territories). Shipping and handling costs are billed separately from the product price and will be communicated to you after checkout. Delivery timeframes are estimates and not guaranteed.

Returns & Refunds

See our Return Policy for full details on returns, exchanges, and refunds.

Product Safety

I.O. Shen knives are professional-grade cutting tools with genuinely sharp edges. Handle, store, and use them as you would any sharp kitchen knife, and keep them out of reach of children.

Product Warranty

Master Grade has manufactured hardware since 1991. If your order arrives damaged or defective, contact us at hello@mastergrade.net and we'll make it right.

Limitation of Liability

Master Grade is not liable for damage, injury, or loss resulting from use beyond a product's stated specifications or from misuse of the product. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our liability for any claim related to your purchase is limited to the amount you paid for the product.

Note for David: governing-law jurisdiction (your home state) still needs to be filled in below — a real legal detail I can't guess, same open item as FoldPro's terms page.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of [Master Grade's home state], without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
