Anyone ever have any dealings with them? How was it? Looks like they arethe only dealer with Sebenza 25's in stock?
 
I've heard some good things, but can't say I'd ever buy anything from them because of how much they rape Shirogorov prices, I have no respect for that.
 
I have purchased a couple knives from Neil. He is a good guy very professional and ships fast. Nothing to worry about.
I have not purchased from him since his opening a US store. The shipping from Canada was a bit higher than I normally paid for shipping, but it was supper fast-18hrs from placing the order(Canada) to my door(Florida)
 
I've bought several through TNK, never had any issues. They ship fast and have been courteous. They are on my favorites list. New Graham Knives has them in stock.
 
I have heard many great things about them. I just don't them because they are in Canada and shipping is $30 bucks. I can buy from US dealers and have free shipping. If TNK has a nice inlay or mammoth ( which they often get ), then the $30 goes out the window.
 
Neil is a good guy. Super fast shipping, honest, excellent products. He is my preferred online dealer along with Bladehq and Knifeworks.
 
Neil is great to deal with, I have had a number of dealings with him, he cares more the most dealers, checks the knives personally. Shipping is really quick, nothing to dislike from my perspective.
 
Excellent dealer. I have made three purchases from them and all top-notch experiences. Some nice swag too. I think they have both USA and Canadian warehouses now, so there should be no duty/border issues. I will buy from them again.
 
TNK usually has two clubs, people who love him and people who hate him. I bought a 25 from him which unfortunately, it's blade was nearly pressing against the presentation side, I informed him and he asked me to ship to CRK, and have them giving him the knife. I then was refunded.
Edit: I have been informed by Mr. Ostroff that this is standard CRK procedure. So, just commenting on shipping and refund speed, both were lightning fast, would buy from again

I've bought from him a few times. The shipping was always very prompt. I never had a problem with a knife so never really had to use the customer service. But, as far as I'm concerned, TNK is good to deal with. I'd definitely use them again in the future.
 
Purchased a S110V SnG from him. Smooth transaction. Costly shipping, but it was for an exclusive so...
 
Neil's service is excellent. Shipping is lightning fast, and he usually throws in some cool stuff with his orders....

I love candy with my knives!
 
I've purchased from TNK dozens of times over the years and have had only extremely positive experiences. Yes it's not free shipping but if I upgrade to 2 day or overnight at other dealers (which I often do) I often have to pay even more than what TNK charges for overnight (which usually arrives the next morning!), so the shipping is quite reasonable in comparison.
 
Neil is the master of instant gratification. In my experience, some dealers that offer free shipping will ship at their leisure. With TNK, I can be assured of being able to fondle a new sharp and pointy instrument the very next day. His shipping policies and prices are more than reasonable. I don't give it a second thought.
 
No personal experience, but if you want a Sebenza 25 I would prefer givin all my crk money to Dave Harvey any day. He owns and operates Nordic Knives and is a real class act. Only downside is he doesn't get inlayed Sebenzas often.
