Is 1877knifeshop.com legit?

They are the only site online that has my grail knife listed for sale. I see no mention of them on these forums except a couple people linking their pics. The site seems ok, but a google search brings up a story of one guy who claims they ripped him off.

Has anyone bought from them ever? When I call their toll free number the answering machine says something about '_____ leather works' which I found suspicious. Im not sending any money their way unless I can get some info from someone who has dealt with them in the past.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Looks to be. McAfee SiteAdvisor, MyWOT, and Norton SafeWeb have given it a green light. No guarantees though.

Thanks for the reply. Im almost tempted to risk it and pull the trigger.....

I went to 1877knifeshop.com and clicked on the Case link. Appears to have not been updated since 2008. No sour grapes here as a competing dealer. Just what I saw.

I noticed that date on the front page too. The thing is that it said all case knives on sale through 11/19/2008 a few days ago, then it switched it too 11/23/2008 yesterday. I think Ill NOT order from there and find my lockback whittler elsewhere. I really wanted to get it, but all signs point towards being suspicious right now and I dont want to be out a few hundred just because Im impatient.
