BEFORE YOU BEGIN
A few useful answers.
How can I try Studio?
Access is currently for invited testers. If you already have access, you can sign in to the existing Studio. Public registration and trial access are being prepared. See the current access options.
Can I start with an existing profile?
Yes. Adjust a starting shape, draw your own editable outline or work from an image reference with a known dimension. The guide shows what to focus on first.
Where are my designs saved?
Projects are stored in the browser you use. Download an editable project file for backup or transfer; clearing browser data can remove local projects.
What can I export during the trial?
In the proposed model, you can inspect fixed sample exports and download your editable project for backup. Manufacturing SVG/DXF and true 1:1 print/PDF of your own design unlock only after payment. Check dimensions, tolerances and processes before making.
Which knives is Studio designed for?
The current focus is fixed-blade knives. Folding mechanisms and locks are outside the current scope.
Which languages are available?
The current Studio interface is Slovak. This website and guide are in English; English localization of Studio is planned. The demonstration recordings include English captions.
Does signup start my 14-day trial?
No. The proposed trial requires an account and a verified email address, but its 14 days start only when you explicitly choose to start the trial with your first personal project. Signing up or verifying your email does not start it. The trial allows one private project.
Do I need a card, and what happens after 14 days?
No payment card is required for the proposed trial, and it cannot automatically charge you. When the trial ends, you retain the project, can view it and download a backup. Continuing to edit and exporting your own manufacturing files require a paid subscription.
Is yearly billing paid monthly?
No. Yearly billing is one €144 excl. VAT payment upfront for a year (€177.12 incl. VAT using the Slovak 23% example). The €12/month equivalent (€14.76 incl. VAT in that example) is not a monthly instalment. Both billing periods include the same Knife Studio features. Yearly saves €84 excl. VAT — approximately 37% compared with 12 monthly payments.
Are these prices inclusive of VAT?
The main prices are exclusive of VAT. Each price also shows an illustrative total using the Slovak 23% VAT rate. Final tax depends on customer location and seller status; these examples are not a universal tax rate or a checkout quote. This is a pricing preview with no active checkout.
Does the subscription renew, and can I turn renewal off?
The proposed subscription renews automatically at the monthly or yearly interval you choose. Turning renewal off stops the next renewal charge and preserves paid access until the end of the period already paid for. This website preview has no active subscription, payment or renewal controls.
