Picked up one of these tonight

[MDG]

I am waiting for my 112LE to arrive. It is is Fedex's clearing house in Sydney, Oz. I am hopeful that it will be in my hands Monday/tuesday next week. Fedex tell me that it is past customs and just waiting for final clearance. Taken them 3 days already to clear. Something about the paperwork. I have had to provide more info. Looking forward to delivery so I can smile.

I'm not certain how all that works with FedEx and customs when you buy a knife from a retailer.
I do know that I sent a knife to Australia using the US Postal Service. I filled out a little green form that they stuck to the padded envelope. I wrote "gift knife" and value at, IIRC, $50. The gent received it in less than a week :thumbup: and I think it cost me less than $8 to send it :thumbup:
Maybe cause I put "gift" on it?
Just think it sucks that you guys outside the US have to go through all the crud and expense to get a Buck MDG (and Maverick, et al).
Look forward to seeing pics of your 112LE

It can be so easy to get knives sent over here but every now and then it can be a pain in the a$$. All of mine got to me in about a week except for the last one it went MIA 6 weeks ago .
It is so much cheaper buying from the US than buying in Australia though :thumbup: .

Nevermind---I'd post pics if I could post pics

Was that a request for assistance???

If you would like to post pictures but are only a "Registered User", there is a Quick & Dirty tutorial at Photobucket For Dummies. If you don't have a digital camera, but do have a scanner, lay your knife on the glass and throw a light colored towel/t-shirt/cloth over it and scan it. Save the pic, and follow the above instructions for posting pics.

All I see is a little box with a red X in it. The links don't open a photo for me.

My 112LE has finally arrived after 4 days at Fedex in Sydney, Aus. I am impressed with it. It has a nice feel and locks up solid. Blade is nicely centred and finish is excellent. Here is a photo with 2 other knives for comparison. The top knife is a Queen D2 that is my EDC. Middle knife is a Puma 960 Cub from the 70's. It was my EDC for a while in the early 80's.

In comparison to the others it is wider, bigger and heavier. It has more belly so it would make a good outdoors knife. It is a little big for the pocket but it has a nice sheath.

All in all I am happy with it.
