workwearcanada.com is a great site to order from for us Canucks - I've purchased several items there since finding their URL on the ESEE site. Paul, the guy who runs it, is great. When I ordered my RC-6, he sent me a non-automated email confirming the order and letting me know he would be shipping it shortly, while also adding some of his own thoughts on the knife. That really surprised me. We emailed back and forth discussing knives and woods gear for a little while after that. Great customer service if you ask me, very friendly.
Not only that, but I received my knife in the mail the day after I ordered it. Even though that was mostly because the company operates here in BC, and the knife didn't exactly have to ship far, I was still impressed. Shipping was free, too. In fact, I was so satisfied with the experience, that I ended up ordering a daypack and some cooking gear from the site a couple days later! I'm probably going to order a Bark River knife through them once I have some more loose change.
And yeah, their prices aren't particularly amazing, but they're still significantly better than special ordering through your local knife place. And I think the extra cost is worth not having to worry about losing your blade at the border during international shipping.
Whew, sorry this got so long! Hope it helps.
PS: I'm new to the forum and ESEE knives, but so far I'm very impressed with the product! The 4 is next on my list
