If you’re a chef, home cook, or culinary enthusiast working far from the city – whether in Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Maine, Nevada or anywhere in between – you know how hard it can be to find a professional knife sharpener nearby. That’s why Precision Sharpening offers a convenient mail-in knife sharpening service designed for remote kitchens, homesteads, and small-town restaurants. We offer convenient knife mail-in kits that are reusable and perfectly safe for your knives, or follow the instructions below to get your knives to us!
Our mail-in sharpening process is simple, secure, and quick, so your knives, scissors, or shears spend less time in transit and more time making clean, precise cuts.
How to Send Us Your Knives, Scissors, or Shears
1. Complete the order form on our website and include it in your box.
2. Package each item carefully:
-
Clipper blades: Individually wrap each blade in newspaper or paper towels, or use a blade box. The teeth are fragile.
-
Scissors/shears: Use a padded case or wrap each pair in paper or newspaper. Perfect for tailors, quilters, and anyone needing remote scissor sharpening or mail-in shear sharpening.
-
Clippers: Wrap in multiple layers of paper; cords don’t need to be included.
-
Knives: Use a padded knife case or pouch, or wrap securely in paper or towels.
3. Pack the box tightly.
Use packing peanuts or crumpled paper so nothing moves inside. Close the box and give it a gentle shake, if it rattles, add more padding.
4. Ship it.
Your local post office offers free Priority Mail boxes, which work great for this.
