    Shipping your Knives

    I generally use usps flat rate boxes. I wrap it tightly in paper then tape that directly to the box. I use a good deal of tape and make sure it's secure to the box. This way it won't move around and if any of our fine upstanding postal employees want what's inside they have to destroy the box...

    Sometimes knifemaking is frustrating!

    Whenever I read a thread where someone is absolutely baffled by purchasing a grinder instead of building one for "so much cheaper" THIS is the reason why. *and I'm not taking about anyone in the thread* I'm not independently wealthy but my wife and I have been working our entire lives and we...
