If I get it from House of Knives, it's a special order and costs me $155+tax, so just under $174 Canadian.

I'm getting some credit for it, but basically, with the RAM I will be getting, I'll be paying $80 total after tax.

I see one store has it for $71 US, which is roughly $73-4 Canadian, no idea what shipping is though.

Basically, I'm wondering, what's the cheapest I could get it shipped to Canada for? Since they're made in USA, I don't have to worry about customs fees.
 
try froogle.com or ebay.com

Although there is a feller here selling TI Frame Lock JYD II blems for aobut $80 I believe. If that's what your into.
 
Blems usually have small cosmetic faults that made the manufacturer pull them during quality control. They are 99% as much knife as a non-blem but don't come with a warranty. However, with Kershaw, a call to their parts department will get you replacement bits with no problem. They may be lower in value, but if you're buying a knife to use, blems are an excellent idea.
 
Cool. Thanks. Yeah, I guess I'll go that route and just get free replacements. RAM + Zing through HoK + JYD2C elsewhere costs me about the same as RAM + JYD2C through HoK. 3 knives is better than 2.

You sure about that, man? You mean, you want to have something shipped over the border to Canada?

I could be wrong, but I think you'll face customs fees on any commercial goods above 20$ value coming into Canada.
 
If you are getting a knife from the States, be sure that you specify USPS (US Postal Service) shipping. I have found USPS to be quite efficient. If you go the UPS or FedEx route, you are in for a world of hurt from their so called 'brokerage fee'. FedEx one time tried to charge me a $40 fee on a $50 item.

Oh yes, I will be ice skating in hell before I buy a knife from HOK. Their prices are ridiculous. There are any number of US dealers who do business with Canadians. Just look.
 
US made products are fine to order across the border. No brokerage fees for those. Made in China would have bad brokerage fees. And yeah, USPS usually turns out OK.
 
The production JYDII #1725CB, in black featureless G10, was $120 MSRP in their '09 catalog. My wife outbid me (long story) for one 8/12 - got it for $65 delivered. Last summer I lucked into a good deal on one of the short run of SG-2 bladed/Ti framed JYDII. If the Kershaw reseller fellow, nice guy, too, has that one for $80, it's a deal!! Mine is on the right end below - sorry for the busy photo. Note the 'neat' fuselage imprint - beats dull black G10!

Not to detract from the production JYDII composite - it's a keeper - but that SG-2 is super. Heck, even a CB blade with D2 - and that neater Ti frame - would be nice. I'll have to contact him! I don't know what he charges for s/h to Canada, however.
