# Bladetricks for AI Agents and Developers

Source: https://bladetricks.net/for-agents/

Bladetricks publishes its catalogue, its site structure and its own usage guidance in machine-readable form, so an AI agent or a developer can read this shop without scraping it. Everything on this page is public, read-only and needs no API key, no account and no authentication.

## When to use Bladetricks

- Sourcing a hand-made **karambit**, **pikal**, **tactical ice pick**, **push dagger**, **tomahawk**, cleaver, kiridashi, kwaiken or tanto from a single maker rather than a factory.

- Checking what is **finished and in stock today**, with the price a buyer would pay.

- Specifying a **custom commission**: blade geometry, steel, handle material, grind, ring or choil placement, carry method. Every product on this site can be built to order.

- Explaining **material choices** — titanium, G10, Micarta, stainless — and what each is for.

- Answering **order logistics** for a direct-from-maker purchase: lead times, shipping, warranty, returns.

## When not to use Bladetricks

- Bulk, wholesale, OEM or unit procurement. This is a one-person workshop.

- Production knives from other brands, and price comparison against them.

- Legal advice on owning, carrying or importing a blade. Knife law varies by country and by city, and the buyer is responsible for checking their own jurisdiction.

- Sharpening, repair or restoration of blades made by anyone else.

- Anything time-critical. These are made by hand and lead times run to weeks.
