KnivesShipFree is moving!

You read that right -- because of new Oregon laws banning the sale of ivory (even mammoth ivory) and a mandated increase in minimum wage, we're leaving our home in Hillsboro, Oregon and moving to... (drum roll, please) ...Escanaba, Michigan!

(If that rings a bell, you must own a Bark River knife -- in fact, the new home of KnivesShipFree will be right down the street from Mike Stewart and his crew. We've always worked closely with Bark River, and now a good thing will get even better.)

We'll be making the move about two months from now. If all goes well, we expect to miss only one day of shipping.

And speaking of shipping, our new location means that our customers (most of whom are in the eastern half of the U.S.) will get their orders much faster after the move. (The exception would be Oregon, Washington and California, where it'll take only a day longer than it does now.)

You longtime KnivesShipFree customers also will be glad to know that Tyler (who runs our sales department) and Jason (who manages the website and does our photography) will be moving to Escanaba with us.

Right now, of course, we want to whittle down our inventory before we have to pack it up. (The less we have on hand, the less we'll have to move.) So we're having a once-in-a-lifetime Moving Sale -- check out the CLOSEOUT KNIVES category. All ESEE, RAT and Spyderco must go, and you'll find lots of great deals on Barkies as well.

Needless to say, things will be a little crazy here over the next couple of months, so please bear with us. We appreciate your business, and we promise even better things to come!
