International shipping is available to over 200 countries & territories on a Delivery Duty Paid (DDP) basis. For eligible countries, we will collect all duties, taxes, and fees associated with importing your order at the time of checkout and they will be added as separate line items on your invoice and paid for when the order is placed. No additional fees should be due – if you are charged a fee at the time of delivery, obtain a receipt and notify us immediately so we can work to resolve it with you. DDP deliveries will be offered by DHL or UPS, depending on the destination. No international returns will be accepted.

Hollow Handle Pieces
Hollow handle is a term used to describe a standard method of flatware construction. These pieces have a sterling silver handle with an interior portion where a shafted piece is cemented secure — most knives and some large serving pieces use this construction method. Typically, the upper portion of the piece is made using 18/10 stainless steel or hardened steel if it is a knife blade.
