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.
