Where to buy offline?

[Sir Housecat]

I am on the edge of a cliff of buying a CS Espada XL. What site has the best service and fastest shipping?
Are there any sites I should avoid?

Check the Feedback area in the Knife Exchange. That is the only area where non-member businesses are supposed to be mentioned I believe though it is not rigidly enforced. Use advanced search here with the dealers name to check for dealer problems after using Google or Bing to find dealers who have what you want.

knifeworks is probably one of the best places

I bought my g10 XL espada off eBay for $175 shipped. And it shipped to Canada in about a week. Great knife by the way I absolutely love mine!

 

[Blade-fiend]

I was assuming you were in the US, is that right?

 

[theHobbyist]

GPKnives have been good to me, and they're forumites here as well

 

[Ernie1980]

I have ordered a number of times from gpknives and they have always been great

 

[Blade-fiend]

GPK doesn't sell the espada or very many coldsteel at all unfortunately, they are my first recommendation for most other brands though

Assuming that your question was directed towards me I was not in the states but the knife that I bought shipped from the states.

no I was askin OP if he was in the states I saw you were in Canada like myself. If in Canada warriorsandwonders is a great Vancouver based store with some very reasonable prices.

oh okay! thanks for the info

 

[flatblackcapo]

I would suggest Blade HQ or National Knives both have been good to me.

I am located in the states to clear up confusion.
