What matters when shipping kitchen knives

Knife sets are mid-weight, and a wooden block adds weight and volume; compare a full set with single knives and combine them with kitchenware in one parcel.

Safe packing and limits

Ask for knives to stay in their box with edge guards and be fixed so they cannot move, since bare edges can cut through the carton. Check with the carrier that knives are accepted in parcels, as some services restrict sharp tools.

Steel, edge and handle

A good kitchen knife is made from high-carbon stainless steel that holds its edge, with a handle of treated wood, polymer or fibre. Ask about the steel hardness if stated, and the blade length: 20 cm for a chef’s knife, 12 cm for peeling and 25 cm for bread.

Sets and the knife block

Sets usually include a chef’s knife, bread knife, paring knife and scissors, with a wooden block. Choose what you will actually use rather than a 15-piece set. For restaurants pick knives with a non-slip handle and hand-wash them to keep the edge.

Knives and air shipping

Knives are an item carriers usually require to be packed tightly and placed in the carton rather than in hand luggage, and they follow each carrier’s policy. Ask for a protective cover for each blade, and do not order very long knives if the route is by air. Combine them with other kitchen tools to cut the cost.
