Import/buying knives from Russia

[Theo Baartse]

I recived a mail from a collector in Norway, concerning import and buying knives from Russia.
They make and sell really awsome knives and can imagione they will look great in a collection.

The question is:
Is there anyone having experiance in this matter?
Did anyone of you ever ordered a knife in Russia?
If so, what's your experiance with payment, delivery time, contact,etc.

Also important, what was your overall impression and would you do it again.

Please give me your answers, you will help a lot of interested collectors!

I have never purchased anything from Russia, but many people, just on these forums, have reported a lot of fraud, and attempted fraud from there. It would make me think twice about sending money to anyone in Russia.

You can probably find some Russian knives on some European shops (which are in other coutries).
