Here's the first installment of what we hope will become a regular feature on KnivesShipFree.com. The "3 from KnivesShipFree" series will cover knives and their 'makers, skills and tips, sales and factoids and more. Enjoy!

3 Reasons to Do Business with KnivesShipFree

1. We love knives. For Wendy and me, KnivesShipFree isn't just a way to support our family -- we got into this business because we have the same enthusiasm for knives that you have. Sometimes it even verges on obsession, but it's always fun.

KnivesShipFree truly is a labor of love, and every day we do our best to approach every customer, every knifemaker and everyone associated with our business in that spirit.

2. We know knives. As much as we enjoy the world of knives, we also realize that (to put it bluntly) we're asking you to part with your hard-earned money here. That's why we take great pride in being as knowledgeable as possible about the products we sell.

More important, we're always learning. We can never know it all, of course, and things are changing every day -- new knifemakers and knives and materials and technologies really keep us hopping. And if you ask us about something we don't know, you can count on us to get you an answer.

3. We ship free. Ok, so this one's pretty obvious. Beyond that, it's also a big reason that many of our customers choose to do business with KnivesShipFree.

Here's the deal -- if you live within the United States of America, we'll ship whatever you order absolutely free. (We get to choose the carrier.) When you take that into account, we believe you'll find that our prices are more than just competitive.

We consider it a great privilege to serve you, our customers and friends, and we work hard every day to live up to the confidence you place in us and our family business.
