Will try to make them usps proof yes(if that is possible). But that was a big part of why I switched to courier shipping :/
DHL in Germany is not any better!

So for the record, although I appreciate very much the efforts of all involved here, I find the new addition of the kiri boxes pretty frustrating. They look very nice, but even for the same $ amount I would rather not have the box than have the box. As is, I’ll either have to immediately throw it away or somehow make room in a cramped closet for something I’ll never use.
After contemplating canceling my participation for a half hour or so, I think I’ll stay in, since I won’t notice the $40 in the long run, even though it’s not nothing to me. But I’m still on the fence about it.
FWIW, I didn't mean to throw any wrenches into the works, or make anyone's job harder. The massdrop is still an awesome idea. It's just that from reading the thread, it might have seemed that there was unanimous approval for the boxes, and I wanted to say that that's not the case.
@LostHighway, you can have my box for cost of shipping.

Not sure your particular knife will fit in the kiribox anyway actually so it will probably sort itselfFWIW, I didn't mean to throw any wrenches into the works, or make anyone's job harder.

Oh look another video! Getting the blades prepped for heat treatment. Quite the batch
Awesome!

The contact wheel, rest, and pushstick helps . And the fact one doesnt need to worry about heat pre HT.That belt is HOGGING material off quickly. Good lord. Efficiency.

@P.SmashPersonally I’m only in it for the curly wood shavings
The stainless tang is a really nice detail, I didn't even realize.
I have a friend that works as a weld inspector that is good to bounce with, and one needs to keep a little track on things to get them good. But when done well they're not difficult to do and get without flaws. They're welded with stainless sticks to annealed steel, ><-ground joints, slow cooldown, works well and no cracks post HT ever, confident on their strength. And as I will grind them in from both sides I will always spot a flaw and be able to fix.I was wondering about this, out of curiosity, have you ever done some sort of strength test on this @RDalman?
I have no concern about a kitchen knife cracking at the weld, but know in general welding stainless and carbon together isn't recommended in high stress applications.

One tricky weld to pull off though was when I recently made a little hammer in soft steel, with welded on "hss1" tip to act as a carbide straightening hammer. Preheated the iron hammer head to full red, quick set and weld with stainless, and into stainless foil and ramp to austenitize all in one go without it cooling down
