How to wrap knives for shipment

  • Find a box slightly longer than your longest knife. Do not ship your knives in an envelope.
  • Arrange your knives diagonally on approximately 8-10 sheets of unfolded newspaper. The blades should all be facing the same way.
  • Stack your knives.
  • Fold the newspaper over your knives and wrap tightly.
  • Fold one corner over.
  • Fold the other corner over. Ensure no blades are peaking through.
  • Wrap tightly.
  • Secure with rubber bands (or tape). It’s important that the knives are wrapped tightly enough that they cannot move against one another
