If you've not ventured into the world of BladeArt, you are missing a treat. I've dealt with Larry a few times and we are currently in the midst of a knife related transaction right now, he is one you can trust to deal with.

As to USPS, I sent a package to Larry, Expressmail...didn't make the trip like it was supposed to, should have been there last Friday but they didn't get it to Larry until today, thankfully! And Larry had sent a package via UPS, was supposed to have been here last Friday as well, per UPS, but didn't get here....yet, probably tomorrow as it is the BUSIEST season for shipping any packages around, one of the reasons I used the Express mail for overnight...

Enough on the shipping thing, check out BladeArt here;

As a matter of fact I did, which surprised me, but I was still worried it wouldn't make the trip!

You don't meet many like Larry.
A guy that you can have hold your wallett and wife while your away.
When you get back both will be like you left them.
Let's don't forget Vince. 100% all the way.

No sucking up here,did that last week. :)

Even though he is a DEALER it's not only about money to him.
The man loves knives and is always ready to help a fellow collector.

Take the plunge you will never regret buying or tradeing with BladeArt.
 
Larry and Vince are top-notch. They go out of their way to accomadate you and make sure you get what you want.
Not getting my wife though, she's mine :D
 
My third knife from Larry should arrive today. The only way that I could get it was to trade-in my wife. I'll be shipping my wife today via 2nd Day UPS. Larry, you'll like her a lot. Just keep an eye on her around sharp objects.
 
I shipped a DUNCAN to a formite in Colorado via PRIORITY mail. I paid the extra for tracking and Insurance. It was GUARANTEED to take three Business days.
WELL, six days later, I get an E-mail that the knife is still "westbound" to Colorado. It's now early Sat. morning. Just as I go to track my package it arrives in HIS Saturday Mail. SIX DAYS for a THREE DAY PRIORITY package. God-Bles the USPS.....wolf:rolleyes:
 
USPS Priority is not a guaranteed service, two to three day is normal
though. I have a Prioity going to Wyoming, 6 days and counting.Ugh!!

Express Mail is guaranteed. Like G2 said, refund is not a problem.

Larry and Vince are in the top 1% of knive dealers out there.
As far as USPS i shipped a Emerson CQC6 to Kali priority and took 31 friggin days ! Talk about panic attack.
 
We can always find something to complain about with the mail, even if most of it makes it OK -- it's the one that doesn't that we remember.

I got a card from an old post office friend today. He got detailed to one of the post offices that was hit with anthrax. He wrote: "... in Trenton. Hamilton to be exact. we've been in a tent for the last two months & on antibiotics for as long." Current conditions don't make it easy to move the mail.
