How do you usually pack and ship a knife? Just the regular box the knife came in? I'm also struggling to find a blank box skinny but long enough to put the knife box in.
 
I like those triangular Priority Mail boxes. Great for knives with or without original packaging. They are extremely strong, cheap to ship and have yet to have a bad experience.
 
I buy 18x4x4 corrugated boxes. They're perfect for everything but extra long knife boxes. I buy 25-50 and also save the original packaging from knives I buy and reuse those boxes when I can.
 
I use the priority mail boxes that are included in the price of using priority mail. I use the flat rectangular ones, wrap the knife box in small bubble wrap and put it in the box at a diagonal and stuff the triangular ends with newspaper to keep everything from shifting inside.
 
Buy a knife from JNS. See how it’s packed? Do that. Anything less is inadequate.
Oversized rectangular box, bubble wrap inside knife box, bubble wrap outside knife box. Tape properly. Send.
Easy.

I would add that you should protect the tip, either with a cork, a plastic tip protector, or by taping two pieces of corrugated cardboard larger than the blade to it. I have received knives that had moved inside the knife box so that the tip came through the side of both the knife box and the shipping box and broke off.
