Most high-quality blades will have some sort of container or sheath that they came with when you originally made the purchase. However, you want to take extra care with these kitchen knives as they are most likely harder or more expensive to replace.
* Clean and dry each premium chef knife.
* Return to box or sheath if available.
* Wrap in packing paper or old rags/shirts.
* Place two appropriately sized pieces of cardboard on either side, like a sandwich.
* Secure with packing tape and add bubble wrap if needed.
* Place inside a box and label the exterior with the direction of the blades.
