On line shops in Europe

#1

Post by elena86 »

Are there any trusted(verified) on line knife shops in Europe ?
The only two I know and trust, are Heinnie Knives from Wales, U.K and Armes Bastille in Paris.But both are quite expensive.

There is a lot of on line knife shops in Europe but if you look for Spyderco or another US knifes - they are all overpriced in the EU due to the ****ing taxes and some bad ideas of greedy and insatiable sellers. The US-price for a G-10 Military is approximately $120 - $130. In Germany you have to pay 229,00 € for this knife. It's really quite expensive. Don't hope, you will find any US products in Europe at reasonable prices.

Your options are trust a member to buy and post or bb has a classifieds a lot of members are collectors and they come up in classifieds also in holland edenwebstoresuk or knivesandtools I think in holland I don't know if they are cheaper for German customers , but are very good and reliable.
Edit your in Romania not Germany sorry but I find mainland eu is cheaper than uk import.
In the case of spyderco hh has only one distributor in the uk and they aren't profit based despite the cost.
The owner donates £2.000.000 to charity every year .

I know these guys in France. They can get most type of knifes you want. Contact them, they may have what you are looking for.

There are a few others, but I did not use them; Just type Couteau de survie and you'll see them.

I usually buy from amazon.it or amazon.de
Most of the time the knives are much cheaper there then on amazon.co.uk
Don't know why actually.

I also have some experience with knivesandtools.nl, the service is excellent!

I'd say go directly for the US-based online shops, it's what I've been doing from 7 years now... deliveries from Germany take 7 days in my experience, deliveries from the States around 10 days - IMO, a 3 days gain is simply not worth the premium you have to pay to European retailers

You can check out one of my favorite dealers in france:
http://www.coutellerie-tourangelle.com/ ... l?page=all
The prices are quite decent for european standards and from time to time they have really good offers.
At the moment the big G-10 Persian and the Lum Chinese Cf are on sale for 99€ and 109€.

cheers,
Marcus

Have been waiting for this thread for ever.. I usually buy my knives at knivesandtools.nl (In The Netherlands), but they really are expensive compared when I would buy them from f.e. eBay, even with import duties I still save a lot. They sell the Spyderco Civilian for €258, which is $355 converted. On eBay I paid around $140 plus $55 import charges.

On the upside, they are REALLY reliable, have excellent service and do buy some sprint runs like the knives with the Super Blue steel etc. They are my main supplier when I want cheaper knives though :D Can recommend them to anyone who wants Spydies in Europe.

Hi! Sorry for reviving this old thread but, if there are any europeans out here, is someone ever bought something from http://www.thebestknives.eu/
Some prices are stupidly low and this is a bit scary. How big is the chance that they are selling fake knives?

The piece that got my attention is a blurple G10 Manix 2 with S110V blade. Costs about 157€, thats roughly $168 USD. That seems to be too good to be true, thats why im asking help from here :)

Ty!
