Yes, you are correct that it is a hassle if something has to go back. I've sent a couple back but it's very rare. Once I sent one directly to a resident modder to repair, rather than send it back. For me, the risk is worth it. As for shipping costs, I usually will order several knives at the same time..... I just factor it into the cost of getting something unique and value is a very subjective thing.
Thanks Steve, sorry you missed out on that one my friendRight there with you in regards to the Ettrick. What a great pattern, I missed it as well.
I don't understand why so many people here in the US won't order knives from overseas. Since GEC went crazy, Queen and Canal Street closing, I shifted my focus to primarily European pocket knives. I've had US Customs open a couple shipments, but everything has always arrived safely. Honestly, my shipments tend to arrive in the same time frame, or faster, than they did from the few times I tried World Knives. Better selection too.
Wow, this one never fails to impress me.... An outstanding SFO Jack! Wish I had been participating in the Guardians thread when you had those made!
As for Wrights knives that I have, only @Jack Black's SFO's are ones approaching perfect fit and finish. The rest of mine seem to be made primarily as working tools and there's nothing wrong with that..... Of course, I wouldn't mind better fit and finish!

There were only 27 ACs made, as that was all the vintage Sambar that there was. That's a beautiful Capped Pruner, does it have the worked-back too? Nice Peach Pruner too 
I have to say, I have sent hundreds of knives across The Pond over the past decade, and not had a single one go missing 
You should try ordering from the US!
There are terrible import duties here, so you end up paying nearly double for anything you buy, and the British Pound has been in the toilet for ages now 
It's great to see that one Steve
I don't know, it used to be pretty straightforward, but overseas postage has doubled in the past couple of years, the customs forms have got more complicated, and you get the third degree at the post office - I got it over a catapult frame the other week!
You seem to have a good set-up with your postie though. I like those flat-rate shipping boxes that are available in the US, we don't have anything like that here, you struggle to get hold of a decent quality cardboard box! I send a lot of them across The Pond, and I generally recycle the ones that come the other way, they're of better quality!
Thanks @Jack Black! No, this pruner is a plain Jane, wish the spring was stout like all of my other Wright's, but I like it anyway.Thanks Steve, sorry you missed out on that one my friend

Really sorry to hear about the crummy shipping and tax policies you guys have to put up with. There should be exceptions for small items. I think the limit here is a package with total value under $800 doesn't require import tax.I don't know, it used to be pretty straightforward, but overseas postage has doubled in the past couple of years, the customs forms have got more complicated, and you get the third degree at the post office - I got it over a catapult frame the other week!
Anything but!
That"s a shame about the pull 
It's about $25 here I think!
There's import duty, sales tax, and an admin charge I used to order from other parts of Europe, but the charged apply even with them now, prices have increased significantly, and some firms won't ship because they don't want the extra hassle and paperwork
I know what you mean my friend
It's nice to see your 2019 Guardians SFO again 
Great pic too
Long time ago. What's underneath it Jack?last time i did a purchase, this one wasnt terrible... but that was back in 2018
Long time ago. What's underneath it Jack?
yes this time I had to put a code and couldnt find the exact one,didnt know where to look.I don't know, it used to be pretty straightforward, but overseas postage has doubled in the past couple of years, the customs forms have got more complicated, and you get the third degree at the post office - I got it over a catapult frame the other week!
They look really interesting Jack, but I meant in the box directly beneath the knife
They're always changing something aren't they? There's 2 different customs declaration forms now
LOL!
I wondered if that was the case! They are so typical of Malcolm! I've got one somewhere The whole of Sheffield was laughing about them. "John Maleham, Sheffield's Finest Cutler". John is a nice bloke, and a good manager, but he was never a cutler, except in the sense that he owned the business. I don't know why John signed the silly things, the cutlers never stopped ribbing him about it. The last time I happened to see Malcolm's site, someone else had been given the accolade!

Oh no!I forgot to check the weight of the most recent package I sent you as I was adding stuff to it, and ended up going 2 ounces over 2 lbs. Oops.
That's just the sort of thing I do too! Here, both size and weight matters. To be classed as a 'large letter' the package has to pass through a slot, about an inch wide. A single knife with a couple of layers of bubble wrap, and a single jiffy bag will go through. Add an extra layer of bubble wrap, and it won't. Sometimes, the contents shift in the package, and it won't go through! It's a minefield! 
Thanks Barrett!Beautiful HHB, Steve!
