I live in New Hampshire. There is no sales tax here. It all depends on where you live.

There are several big ones out there. DLT is one that carries SAK. They are the dealers that get the lions share of my business. Every chance I get to give the big middle finger to my Socialist overlords here in Washington State I do so.
Iif you're looking for SAKs, I may not be your guy. Don't own any, never purchased one. That and I haven't mail ordered anything in some time.
What I do is find the knife I want, add it to my cart, go through checkout, and see what the final price is before I click the complete order button. Some sites even have an estimate shipping and tax function which makes it easy.

It may not help, But I recently bought a knife from Bastion knives, straight from their site. No tax involved.

I have never heard of them. There has been legal issues between N.H. and Mass. regarding sales tax. I would avoid them.
Massachusetts has a problem with out of state businesses not kowtowing to their rule as lord of the land and forking over the proper tithing.
The same state is taxing New Hampshire residents who don't work in the state.
New Hampshire takes exception to both counts.
I say shop away to your heart's content.

NJ also joined that court case and siding with NH against MA
The shop, Swiss Knife Store, seems legit. My knife has been shipped.
They don’t sell very many knife brands so I was asking how you guys handle the sales tax for purchases and looking for other possibilities of sites that don’t charge sales tax when sending out of their home state.

I live in California, they tax everything including the weather.
It seems to me most places do not charge sales tax.
Search around.
I'm not sure about the explanations from tax charging outfits, but I know for a fact it is costing them business.

Many other states do charge sales tax. I think 48 states, in fact. This sales tax is for in state sales.
The recent development is some 29 states now require out of state businesses to collect and remit taxes on shipments to the respective tax-charging states. Another 13 or so have plans in the works to do the same.
In a lot of cases, it's a simple thing and there's often a minimum amount of yearly sales to the respective state that triggers the collection and remittance of taxes. Some states require the tax calculated for the total item and shipping cost. In other cases, there's not a minimum as the greedy-greedy-pig state wants it all.
In a few cases, there's also a facilitator tax collection and remittance requirement. A facilitator is a market like Amazon, eBay, Etsy, etc. that facilitate sales to buyers for a group of sellers. In that case, the facilitator calculates, collects and remits the tax on behalf of the sellers it represents.
The tax charging outfits aren't doing it by choice. The greedy-greedy-pig-fucks force them to under penalty of theft of their business, loss of their livelihood, and death at the hands of the states.
That's probably their explanation.
Some probably don't meet the de minimis sales amount - where it may exist - to require collection and remittance and don't.
Others might actually just be hoping not to get caught or believe it should be incumbent upon the buyer to remit tax where required and don't.
A few are just doing it because they don't know any better, got bad advice, fearful of losing their life, or think that tax is a social necessity and government imperative.
I don't have beef with those people. I just choose not to do business with them. It annoys me that the pigs attempt to invade every aspect my life. It annoys that some of these places use non-standard tax rates or seem to round up the tax calculated. I get the last part; they're just trying to limit their liability but the cynic in me thinks they're just skimming off the top with the tacit approval of state laws.
