Thx gents. The packaging was a bit of a challenge. How to secure those 14 pieces of metal against any mishandling while at the same time keeping the overall mass below 1 kg. The first one I sent had me at the counter of the post office with a pair of scissors, trimming off every unnecessary millimeter.

There shouldn’t be any rusting. The steel parts are sprayed with lanolin (Inox MX4 Lanox), will protect pretty much forever, at least in this part of the world.

Colin now that you've said lanolin anti corrosion protection I see why they look so shiny oh shiny shiny!
I might try smearing them with my beard oil it has lanolin in ...so the easy solution is to keep them on my pillow 👍👍😳😁

Hi,
I ordered a set of these a short time ago and can vouch for the quality and professional finish of these items, not to mention excellent packaging.
Thanks Colin, looking forward to using them in anger shortly.
Regards,
