You wouldn't believe the number of people who have shipped knives to me with the knife, unsheathed, banging around in the package. These often arrive with a hole in the end of the package where the knife point has escaped and (possibly) harmed a delivery person.

The knife should be attached to something longer than itself, that is not able to penetrate the box. We usually fold over some cardboard like a taco and attach the knife inside with zip ties. If in doubt, you can also put something difficult to penetrate in the end of the box. Just in case.

I had a couple CPKs I bought from someone on here (I don’t remember who, not shaming anyone) that were shipped unsheathed loosely wrapped in brown packing paper in a massively oversized box and had poked a hole in the side. I think the intent was to avoid the knives being scratched by their sheaths so I appreciate the thought but it was definitely unsafe and probably riskier in terms of edge damage and loss.
 
Maaaan. I just realized, I have everybody's address. I could send Tanto to everybody's house. He could sneak in at night just like Santa Claus. But with a nail file and a sock full of silicon carbide grit. It'll be just like Christmas time but instead of leaving out milk and cookies you could just leave out some crack.

"Lorien, come see me after class."
 
Maybe I'm weird, but there is something wildly appealing (and also terrifying) about a "Tanto Christmas".....🤔

Nathan: Please! this is by no means an approval to dispatch Tanto to my house as a "test run"!!!!! 🤣

ETA: I guess that depends on if he brings "gifts" from the creek.......so maybe?? 😆
