Tom,
Sorry for the late reply, I was on vaction. The best way is to send them priority mail. If you alot of knives it pays to get a flat rate box from the post office. This way it's the same price even if the box ways 30 pounds. Reguardless of how you ship it to me it will be sent back to you via priority mail. If you insure and put a tracking number on it, it will be scent back the same to you. I'll sharpen any knife you send me no matter what the length for the $3.00 each, with the exception of swords. If you don't have a sheath for a knife just wrap it up in newspaper, I've never hade a problem with doing it that way. Thank you, Dave.
