We take great care in preparing your knife-making components for shipment:
- Order Verification: All orders are reviewed within 24 hours to ensure accuracy and check for any special requirements (especially important for international shipments of knife blanks and blades).
- Processing: Most orders are processed and packed within 1-2 business days. During peak seasons or for custom orders, processing may take slightly longer.
- Dispatch Notification: You’ll receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking information as soon as your package leaves our facility in Groton, Connecticut.
International Shipping Considerations
For our global community of knife makers and outdoor enthusiasts:
- All knife blanks and blades are shipped in compliance with international shipping regulations
- Customs fees, taxes, or import duties are the responsibility of the recipient
- Some regions may have restrictions on certain blade types – we recommend checking local regulations before ordering
Pro Tip for International Customers: For faster clearance through customs, we declare all contents accurately and provide detailed product descriptions on shipping documents. This is particularly important for our Damascus steel and high-carbon knife blanks.
Tracking Your Order
Once dispatched, you can track your knife-making supplies every step of the way:
- Tracking numbers are provided in your shipping confirmation email
- Most tracking systems update within 24 hours of dispatch
- For EMS shipments, tracking may take 2-3 days to activate in the system
Note: Delivery times are estimates and may vary due to customs processing, weather conditions, or other factors beyond our control.

- Returns are accepted within 15 days of receipt
