NZ. Where the exchange rate and shipping costs make this an expensive hobby.
Nice snaps! Yeah I feel ya on the prices. Most retailers charge 60-80usd shipping when in actual fact it costs 30-50.
Where in NZ are you? Auckland myself.

I'm from New Zealand. Something I also see often on these forums is unwillingness to sell to international buyers. Why is that?

Taipa, near Doubtless Bay in the far north.
I have a pre-order in at Knife Center and the shipping from them is actually pretty reasonable, as long as I go the slow budget option.
I too have found the reluctance to ship overseas an issue. Or maybe a blessing as it stopped me from buying a lot on the exchange here lol.
I'm from Canada. Chinese manufacturing has just rubbed me the wrong way for many years now. They will have to come a loooong way before I will consider buying a Chinese made knife. I would find it difficult to have any pride of ownership in it.
I own mostly USA made knives right now.
Cape Town, South Africa.......Lucky for me we have some of the best knifemakers on the planet. I do like USA production though.
I didn't get past page one...couldn't take it. Take the argument elsewhere or keep it private. I don't want to hear it or read it.
Nope. Look at the Chinese knives like WE, Reate, Liong Mah, Etc. None of them are folding prybars. They also offer far better materials at the same price especially in the 300+ range...You are joking right?
Yes you do.
I actually received a CRK Pacific in the mail today. Even though this knife was made on U.S. soil, most likely by American hands, I still consider this awesome knife South African; made from 100% South African inspiration, by a South African legend.
Oh awesome, no wonder you got some nice looking snapper then haha.
Yeah I actually have an order on its way from them, shipping was only 1/4 the price of other places. Did you have trouble getting the order placed with them? They wouldn't accept my credit card as my location had been flagged as high risk for fraud, what's that about. Ended up accepting it after a bit of back and forth.
You are joking right?
I am from Czech Republic and most of what I buy these days are custom folders from czech makers(but I am expanding to other european makers as well ), if I go with production made knives it's mostly US or chinese(far less) made. I really don't care where it's made as long as it's made well from good materials and with original designs.
