thanks.

they don't have kwaikens, i did check their site before but wasn't sure if they were any good.
I've only recently got into knives a while ago and have bought a couple from blademaster but wanted to try other retailers.
overseas sellers are good on price but kill the deal with shipping charges lol.

have to keep looking, thanks again.

Over the past 5 years or so I have amassed near 40 folders and almost all of them have come from US online retailers. A lot of them I got when the exchange rate was a lot more favorable than it is now, but I still find it at least competitive price wise and of course a far greater range of choices is available.
The BF approved dealers are the first to look through I suggest. There are some quirks here and there, like one of them won't sell BMs overseas, another AO's, but usually I find and get what I want from from a good US seller.

In NZ I have used both Top Gear and Blademaster a couple of times and both are good to deal with.
