I just completed a purchase from Nifrand and couldn't be more pleased. We agreed on the purchase on Tuesday, just two days ago and I have the knife in my hands as I type (not really, it's on the desk but I am looking at it). The knife was exactly as advertised--no, I take that back, he included a zippered knife case that I wasn't expecting. He sent the knife priorty and I sent my check standard the same day, so I have the knife and he probably doesn't even have my money yet, what a trusting guy.
My attitude here really surprises me because I just got interested in real knifes about three months ago, and shortly found Bladeforums. I have since bought 8 knifes, with Nifrands being the eighth. I can remember looking at the knives for sale by individuals forum and thinking, why would anybody try to save 20-30% on a new knife here? What if you send the money and don't get the knife? What if It's not really new?
Now am a bit less ignorant. My opinion is the exact opposite. I would prefer to deal with one of the well respected individuals on this forum over a dealer. The individuals won't always have what I'm looking for so I'll certainly still buy fron dealers, but I'd rather buy from someone such as Nifrand.
