Shipping your completed knife

I now ship only by FedEx. The reason for that is because I've had some expensive knives and artwork stolen when shipping USPS and I must do my best to protect my labor and your investment, and  I can no longer trust the United States Postal Service. What this means is a bit more expensive shipping charge, but when a knife of $1000, $3000, or $6000 is lost, there really is no shipping fee to expensive to locate, track, and keep account of that knife or artwork. With FedEx, you'll get accurate tracking and guaranteed delivery.

The shipping charges will have to be detailed on an individual basis. The weight, dimensions, and type of shipment must be known before the charges can be figured. Currently, I'll pay for the boxes, packing materials, and travel to the drop off destination (handling), and I'll expect the client to pay for the FedEx shipping. When the knife is complete, I'll pack it, detail the shipping type and time, and let you know the cost. Then, you can add shipping to your final knife payment, and the package will be ready to go.

A big advantage is that FedEx offers some additional services, like specific delivery times, arranged delivery, and Saturday delivery. The delivery can be rushed, held until its convenient, and tracked along the way. The delivery can be signed for by anyone at the address, someone in the area, or it can be released to the location if it's a safe area. You can even make sure someone over 21 signs for the package. For my international clients, you can get customs-cleared door to door delivery. FedEx can deliver to any place except a P.O. box. If you have a P.O. box only, let me know and we'll work that out.

By having FedEx handle shipping, I hope to never lose another knife to pilferage or theft. And for the client who lost this valuable, unique and expensive knife, I'm making him another at no charge, which will be shipped by FedEx and guaranteed and tracked to its destination.
