I'm really into playing with kerambits at the moment so a War Boar quickly became a necessity. Service from the company store could not have been better. From ordering to arrival in England, 3 days. The store actually apologised by email for being a tad slow in dispatching my blade!
Then it gets annoying, the carrier emails me that Customs are holding the package until I pay the $90 import duty and they will send me a letter with a 17 digit code so that I can pay over the phone and have it delivered.
2 weeks later, still no letter. When I make enquiries I'm told Customs work at their own pace! Still I can go to the depot with photo I.D. and pay in person.
This would entail a 6 hour round trip!
My girlfriend, bless her, helpfully told me that I already had hundreds of knives so what was the big deal about this one?
How to explain?
Still I bit the bullet and picked up that baby today (black/black, small ring) and it is even better than expected.
Can't wait to have a proper 'play' but I'm off on holiday to the south of France for a week and I'm still taking the girlfriend even though she's a blasphemer.
I had to smile at the package though. It was labelled 'Camping Tool.'
