Temperline tracks what every build really costs — labour, materials, consumables, overhead — and runs your pipeline from enquiry to shipped. Built by a knifemaker.
We'll invite you when a spot opens. Cost one real build and it's yours for life — no card, no spam.
The maker's math
The most expensive material in your knife is you — and you're giving it away.
What it does
01 / PIPELINE
Every build moves along one line — enquiry, deposit, steel, grind, heat treat, handle, finish, shipped. See every knife in your shop at a glance, and what each stage is costing you.
02 / TRUE COST
Belts, epoxy, propane, kiln hours, the offcut bin. Temperline counts consumables and overhead into every build, so the number you quote is the number it actually costs.
03 / GOODWILL
The knife for your brother-in-law. The trade for a set of scales. Gifts and barter get logged at true cost, so goodwill stays generous — and visible — instead of invisible loss.
