Knifewear Mail-In Sharpening
Here at Knifewear, we take our sharpening seriously! However, if you find yourself too far away to bring your knives in personally, simply ship them to us instead.
Here are the details:

Send your knives to the above address, and fire an email to kelowna@knifewear.com so we know their own the way. Include your phone number and contact information in the email. Upon receiving your knives, we will contact you to confirm their arrival and arrange payment for sharpening and return shipping. We accept all major credit cards as well as Paypal transactions.
Costs:
| Paring and Petty knives | $6.00 |
| Japanese paring/petty knives | $10.00 |
| Larger western knives | $10.00 |
| Larger Japanese knives | $15.00 |
We will use the same shipping method to return your knives that you used to send them to us. That way, you can expect to pay the same as your original shipping costs.
Even though they need sharpening, your knives will still be able to slice through poor packaging, hurting shipping personnel, and possibly damaging your blades. In order to prevent that we have some important knife packaging instructions.

Step 1:
Pack your knife securely inside a box, the original packaging is perfect. Make sure to include your contact info in the box so we don't mix up your knives with someone else's. Use newspaper or bubble-wrap to hold the knife in place. Close the box and shake it, if you don't hear any movement, you've done a good job!

Step 2:
Tightly wrap the box in paper. Here in the shop we use butcher paper.

Step 3:
Clearly label the package, and take care to tape the tearable edges with packing tape.
