PACKAGING

  • Use bubble wrap or cardboard to provide secure protection for the knives during the shipping process.

  • Please refrain from using tape or adhesive directly on the knives, both on the blades and handles.

This precaution guarantees a safe and hygienic handling of the knives during the sharpening process.

We recommend cleaning the blades with warm water and soap, followed by complete drying.

Only knives should be shipped for sharpening. Please exclude blade protectors, woodblocks, carving forks, honing steels, diamond steels, and similar items.
