      You can also ship your instruments to us!

      • 1-3 day turnaround from time package is received.
      • Shipping time may vary depending on choice of carrier and shipping type.
      • Shipping costs will be billed with final invoice.
        • Option #1: You can choose to ship to us via your choice of carrier. You will only be invoiced for the return shipping through UPS.

        • All instruments must be packaged and sterilized according to sterilization guidelines with proper indicators (sterilization envelopes, sterilization tapes, etc.)

        Disclaimers

        Keep Your Edge is not responsible for:

        • Instruments received for sharpening with thin or misshapen blades due to previous poor sharpening techniques or heavy wear due to overuse. These issues can cause the need for heavier blade removal for reshaping and sharpening. Please use your professional judgment and discretion in determining the integrity of any instrument you use to reduce risk to you and your patients.

          • We will be as conservative as we possibly can when sharpening to preserve and prolong the life of your instruments. If an instrument is deemed unusable it will be set aside and returned at no charge with recommendation for replacement.

          • We may also make note of any instruments that may still be useful but are not recommended for further sharpening.

        • Please use your professional judgment and discretion in determining the integrity of any instrument you use to reduce risk to you and your patients.

        • Delays in shipping due to weather, traffic delays, mechanical issues, illness, etc.
