Hi, Can anyone tell me if the Alaskan Guide Buck 110 is available online apart from Cabela's ? I tried ordering from their website and was told its a restricted item. Has anyone sucessfully ordered knives from them internationally ?
 
Hi Nagamitsu, i'd got the same problem than you, so i've been lucky and found one the same day in "knives for sale"(i waiting for it), i searched a lot on Internet and found nothing, you've got the solution to ask a favour to one one of your US's friend, he will arrange something for you.
NB:happy to read you in another forum.

No, it was a special order for Cabela's, so other than a used one on Ebay you won't find it for sale anywhere else.
 
i thought they were still available? Are these the same ones, or something different --> Click here

nagamitsu asked if they were available online "apart from Cabela's", not if they were available online.
 
I ordered one of these from Cabela's, and it's very nice done.

Being that I am a user though and not a collector, I sold mine within a week, as I prefer the 112 mostly.

I ended up sending mine to France, so it all worked out great.
 
yeah, I also have a 112 and love it, perfect little knife, feels great. :)

here's my 112, 110 and Cabela's 110.

Cabela's does not ship knives outside US, because it is "deadly weapon". I started thread about it last year I think.

Thanks, Vassili.

Can knives be shipped legally to Malaysia? If so I could help you out. You can Email Me if you wish.

Yes it is possible, so long as its not, a double edged dagger, sword of any type from antiques to replicas.

Thankyou for your generous offer, I shall email you shortly.

A deadly weapon :confused: ? Please, have a heart! This is baloney :thumbdn: ! If this is truly the attitude that people at Cabela’s have, then I really don’t know what to say. I mean for the “WORLD’S FOREMOST OUTFITTER” to adopt this kind of mindset, it is really pathetic!

Of all ignorant people who claim this nonsense, someone would expect Cabela’s to oppose this attitude and not adopt it! A knife is the man’s oldest tool. Someone may use a knife to prepare his food while another twisted person may use the same type of knife to kill somebody. I am asking all reasonable people: is the knife that has to take the blame or the criminal who turned it into a “deadly weapon”? Is this so difficult for people at Cabela’s and their likes to understand?

Do you have any idea how many items that we all possess legally may be used as “deadly weapons”? For the sake of the argument, I will mention a glass bottle: break one while holding it from the neck and what you are left with is a very effective, highly deadly weapon. So, based on Cabela’s, as well as all other ignorants’, rational what shall we all do? Easy! We would have to ban glass bottles :rolleyes: ! The list of improvised deadly weapons could go on and on but it won’t. Suffice to say that I just wanted to make a point and I believe it’s already made.

I don’t think that the problems with violent crimes lays with the existence of knives, as much as, that it lays with the lack of love that is in such an abundance nowadays. We see someone suffering and we all turn our heads the other way. We’d rather see our shelves encapsulated in our politically correct realm than show compassion to the person in need of assistance who is right next to us.

In short, if this is the attitude that Cabela’s supports, I hope they reconsider because it is totally wrong. This should be expected by a pen pusher and not by that someone who proclaims them selves as the “WORLD’S FOREMOST OUTFITTER”.

Of course I can't speak for Cabelas but it seems to me that it's not them who classifies knives as deadly weapons but rather the governments of other countries that have placed restrictions on the shipping of them into the country. It does a customer no good to place an order and have Cabelas receive payment and ship the product in good faith only to have it confiscated at the other end. Cabelas can't control any of this regulation and so chooses to only ship domestically to avoid problems. I certainly don't see any of the "knives kill people" mentality from Cabelas.
 
I tried to order one of these on line from Cabela's. I have bought stuff from them before so I have an account.They, of course, would not sell it to me so I called customer service to complain. They tried to tell me that they could not ship to me for legal reasons since 9/11?. I pointed out that they must have different laws where they were than the laws that New Graham has as I just order from them yesterday without a hitch. The girl on the phone was pleasent but I will not be getting one of these knives. I asked her to register this as a complaint. She said she would. :mad: :rolleyes: :p

Allow me to disagree with you on this one. There are many highly reputable makers / vendors who DO sell abroad. If it were a governmental issue, then as I am sure you understand, nobody could sell any knives abroad. As for Cabela's care to protect people ordering from abroad from getting their knives confiscated, I would think that it would suffice to state clearly (like many sellers do) that it is the responsibility of the customer to check with local laws and comply with them. So, I really think it's a Cabela's issue. Then again, if it is not, the forum is open to a Cabela's representative so that he or she can take the pondium and prove me wrong.

Be well,

George
 
Good points George. I did a search of the Cabelas web site for some explanation of their shipping policy but couldn't come up with anything. Let's hope we can get a better explanation from the horse's mouth.
 
I emailed Cabelas seeking a bit of clarification on the matter, and here is their reply. I wonder if it is an answer at all.

Hello XXXX,
Thank you for your inquiry. We are not able to ship this item, or any item that would be considered a weapon, to addresses outside the U.S. Naturally, we're very pleased when people are interested in receiving our catalogs and ordering merchandise from our vast selection of outdoor gear.

Cabela's is a mail order business that supplies sporting good to consumers in over 120 countries throughout the world. As with any other business shipping internationally, we must comply with all federal, state, and local statutes which regulate international/intra/interstate shipment of merchandise.

Many factors are considered prior to placing an "embargo" flag on a specific country or region. It is a process not taken lightly; after all, we are in business to serve the sporting needs of "all" sportsman as the World's Foremost Outfitter.

U.S. government embargos placed on U.S. companies to specific locations generally is the leading reason for our system "flags". Being very proud of our reputation as a service oriented company, we would next consider service issues to ensure we are able to provide the level of service and the quality merchandise for which we are noted.

We sincerely apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience this situation may have caused. We appreciate your interest in Cabela's and if we may be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us again.

Have a great day!

Why do some items indicate "SOME RESTRICTIONS MAY APPLY" on the description page?



Due to the complexity of shipping restrictions and international, federal, state and/or local laws we are unable to list restrictions in their entirety here. For specific restrictions please contact Customer Relations at 1-800-237-4444. Please have the item number(s) and delivery address handy when you call. General guidelines are listed below.

Cabela's does not sell or send firearms, scopes and firearms parts, ammunition or reloading supplies to International addresses. This also includes blowguns, air guns, paintball marker guns and blackpowder firearms.
In addition, some of the products which Cabela's offers for purchase may be further restricted by Federal, State and/or local law. Cabela's is an authorized dealer of all the goods offered for sale, but Cabela's does not and can not grant the right or authority for persons to purchase items which may be regulated pursuant to such laws. Please check your local laws for restrictions before ordering.
Size and or weight of the package may also restrict an item from being shipped to USA and/or International addresses.
