| has anyone ever had an issue ordering a knife from overseas?
problem with customs, etc? crazy brokerage fees?
its a fixed blade, so it should be perfectly legal. just wondering about your personal experiences

I second Warriors and Wonders in Vancouver. Bought many many blades there. Keep in mind its not a full service store. Know what you want beforehand, pay and get out.
If it is a fixed blade, there will be zero problems at the border. You will just pay applicable taxes and duties. Done that a million times too.
ok, I was thinking about this. I there are prohibited fixed blade knives like a push dagger and throwing stars so don't bring those in.
