You're right about that but the prices are just really high there. I've found that even with taxes knives bought overseas are cheaper and arrive pretty quick (3-10 days is what i normally get2sharp from The Netherlands is Official International Dealer & Distributor. Got my RC-5 from them. They are not very fast but no taxes!
www.cumberlandknifeworks.com is a good online place to check out.
And yes, if you win one of RC's contests, they will ship to europe. I won a RC-3 a couple of months ago in the photo contest
Jeff, Mike and Rowen manuf. are great; even though they stated shipping to Europe is extra when you win a contest, they shipped the RC-3 for free!
Good luck!
