Packed securely and sent quickly from Nampa ID to Portland OR, arrived in 3 days via USPS. This is an excellent and finely-finished knife, handy for small tasks as well as for cleaving hard cheeses and blocks of chocolate etc. Carbon steel blade, so KEEP IT OILED. Holds an edge a long time. Resin handles, not wood, comfortable to grip and no worries about water damage to handle, secure rivets. Not sure about details re 'limited lifetime warranty' but I interpret to mean they stand behind their product. Buy with confidence.
