Packaging your knives for return

For the safety of everyone who will handle your shipment, please package your knives carefully. Tape can leave a residue that is unsafe for our team to remove. Due to this safety hazard, knives received with tape on the blade will be returned with residue still on the blade.

  • Please make sure to clean your knives thoroughly before returning them for sharpening or service.
  • Do not use tape directly on the blades and handles.
  • Cover the entire blade with cardboard. Cardboard from cereal boxes works well.
  • Do not use padded envelopes.
  • Place your knives in a cardboard box with extra packing material to keep them secure during shipping.
