Online purchase advices please?

[Dextar]

Hi there,

I am considering purchase some knives online.
Benchmade 565-1
Benchmade 15017-1

In fact, I placed some orders online in the past for other knives, but sometimes bad luck, receive the product with defects, e.g. unfinished tip, dent or chip on edge, scratches on the surface....which seems second hand or used one.
So, I would like to seek your help to give some recommendations on online purchasing.

After some online study, seems following 2 dealers have good reputation and can ship to Canada (Benchmade said they cannot ship to Canada, recommend me to use a dealer):
BladeHQ, Blades Canada (W&W).

As one of my desired knife is out of stock in W&W, one is out of stock in BladeHQ, I cannot order from 1 dealer for all knives.
Any experience, comments, advices?

Thanks!

The W&W folks are 100%. You can check out a recent review of them I did in the GBU.

The hinge on this of course is them having the model you want in stock.

+1 for Blades Canada. Never been dissatisfied, and they always ship fast. Been using them for the better part of a decade now.

I just remembered, you can also try S&R knives. They have been great for me as well.

Ya, the problem is they don't have a schedule or time when the 15017-1 could arrive. Thanks for reply

Thanks. But seems they only ship by Canada Post?

You're welcome.

Why is that a "But"?

I don't know about Canada specifically or buying knives outside the US but BladeHQ has always come thru with excellent customer care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Maybe see if Knifeworks will ship to Canada as well (my favorite dealer BTW)

You're welcome.

Just want to choose another delivery which always deliver parcel in front of my door, but not just leave me a message (when I am in my home) & ask me to pick it up in a post office
