Normally it would cost me about $20 US to ship domestically, but on a quick estimate from my zip code to Firenze (just a rough estimate since I have no idea where you live) VIA UPS INTL Saver would be $138 + you'd need to pay whatever duty is due on your end on the sale price of $480. I'm not sure it wouldn't be better for you to just buy locally or even directly from Sweden Your time zone is 9 hours ahead of mine, so I'll check this before I sleep tonight in case you're on the forum later this morning (Wednesday) your time.

Mmmm ... In facts, the cost is quite high ... I live in Genoa, but I doubt it changes much in terms of final costs ...
Regarding the various local taxes it depends on the declared value of the object: If the declared value on the shipping documents exceeds $ 50 the customs (which works through our national post service) already carries out inspections and apply duties, but if the value is below or is declared as a gift they do not apply them.
If it's not a problem I would take a little bit of time to decide, no later than the middle of next week I would give a definitive answer, because in fact the costs are quite high, but here in Italy the same knife purchased online costs 640,00 € + shipping ... $ 480,00 +138,00 U.S. dollars (estimated) at the end are $ 618,00 at current exchange rates that are slightly less than € 498,00.
However, if there should be any buyer on U.S. territory interested of course give to him precedence! You have been very kind to give me a quote and I have just asked for more time to decide ... It seems to me the least!
Thank you very much for the courtesy and helpfulness
Edit: I've checked the prices of shipments to Italy via USPS Priority Mail ® package and the International Large Flat Rate Box would be ideal ... Unfortunately, even though I purchases a lot from the U.S., are not great either unfamiliar with international shipping so I have no idea if the Priority Mail service goes well ... Usually, in my purchases is the most used shipping.
Given the cost (estimated by the USPS site) of $ 60.95 may be the best solution ... Obviously if you have a privileged relationship with UPS or other couriers certainly not asking to give up!
@BigBossBubba:
Yeah, they are the best value, by far. It's perfectly OK with me. It must be late there, you're in GMT+1(2 for summer) zone… about twenty to 4
! There are about two weeks that I struggle to fall asleep but does the same 
. I'm used to early wakings and lack of sleep ... If anything I'll recover when I have time and I can find sleep! Unfortunately I suffer so much wet climates and Genoa in this period is killing me! If I don't keep the fan on at maximum power all day after 5 minutes i'm sweaty rotten!!
