Good Online Store for Purchasing RAT Knives

I have at one time or another ordered from most of the aforementioned dealers but Dale at www.the-knife-connection.com is my go to guy for RAT knives and everything else he stocks. The shipping is free and very fast (I had my most recent order 2 days after I ordered it) and his prices were better or as good as any I found anywhere else. Plus, every 30th order placed on his site he gives away for free (up $100) and I fortunately was one of these 30th orders recently which allowed me to buy 2 RAT knives. He has outstanding customer service.
 
+ Add another one for Chestnut Ridge and KnivesShipFree. Next one will probably be from TwoWolves just so I can spread the love to the teams that help out here.

You won't go wrong with any of the ones listed in this post

Cheers.
 
Why has yourcornerstore stopped holding RAT knives? I was about to buy one too, but went to the site and no dice. They had the best prices and customer sercive I have ever encounterd
 
I've been a regular at New Graham (I'm a sucker for those sexy sounding ladies with the southern accents)...... I do think their website needs a face lift but prices and service are great there.

Most recently though, I've ordered from KSF. While I'm not sure how Derrick sounds over the phone, I'll settle for ordering online from him. His communication via email and service and selection has been great.... Will continue to do business with.

I will also order from T-K-C in the future as well. He's got a great site, good inventory, and a good reputation.

I've heard that too about their service and figured I would show some support to a local business, (I believe they are in the next town over from me). My emails and phone calls were unanswered, and their website is horrible. They're off my list.

That isn't normal. I've ordered from them and had super fast shipping, and had an answered email within a day.

On topic, KSF, CRKS, and 2 wolves are all great places to place an order!
 
I have ordered from Dale at www.the-knife-connection.com and I must say he has the patience of a saint. We emailed back and forth a numerous times and even spoke on the phone before I finally made up my mind. Dale is great to deal with and I'm sure that the other RAT dealers mentioned are as well.
 
I ordered twice from yourcornerstore. First time was a great encounter. Second time was horrible. It took a month and a week to get my canceled order money returned to me and several phone calls. The owner said sorry, I got busy and will do it first thing the next morning. Needless to say, I wont buy from them again.
Too many great stores out there like 2 wolves, knifeworks, and chesnut ridge. I have heard nothing but great things also about TKC and KSF who are regulars and also knifeaholics like us.:)
 
I've been spreading the wealth among the various endorsed dealers as well.

I am a fan of Yourcornerstore.com The one time I had sent an e-mail before an order, it was answered promptly. I know their prices sometimes came in under MSRP-and some manufacturers didn't appreciate that. I think they stopped carrying Maxpedition because of that.

Knifecenter.com---anyone notice that RAT isn't listed as a dealer anymore? If you do a search (I think under RC Cutlery-but it was a few days ago) you can still find everything.

I know Jeff had mentioned in a thread a month or so ago that they were going after a couple of dealers that weren't up to snuff. I hope these two weren't on the list!
 
I recently made a fairly large purchase from a site called Bladematrix and found them to be very helpful with reasonable shipping rates.
 
Thanks for all the ideas guys, sounds like you all have had great experiences and I hope I do too.
