shipping custom knives to US from Canada

[Peter C.]

Hi, Has anyone had any experience shipping knives from Canada to the US?
I was going to send a consignment to J.Bruce Voyles but Canada Post and all the couriers say knives are prohibited. So does anyone have ideas or past experience with this problem? It seems the prohibition is by the US.

I have shipped many knives to the US via Post. Only once has some dimwit at the Post Office said that it was against their rules. I checked into it and it is not against any Canada Post rules to ship knives. Just make sure they are very well packaged and there is no chance the blade can end up going through the box.
