Edgedspecialties is the best place i've ever purchased a knife from, and i've bought from all the major dealers.
First off the box was taped up super clean, and the tape used was the kind with the string strands inside. The packing material inside was brand new brown paper bag. Now the best part was that the knife box(a chris reeve box) was individually sealed in a super heavy duty plastic bag. They also sent an awesome maxpidition case as a bonus(that was sealed also)...communication was awesome, and they even sent me pictures via email of knives that they just got in, and hadn't even added to their web site yet(i had inquired to certain models)
I've been wanting to start a thread on them, and came across this one...
