FAQs

What's the best way to pack?

Clean and wrap your knives carefully and pack them tightly so they do not move around in the box. Most people use towels or multiple sheets of newspaper. There are many right ways to pack them, but a few wrong ways too; common sense will ensure safety. Here's a visual guide showing one good way to wrap your knives, courtesy of our friends at Town Cutler
