Looking to order a Spyderco Para 3 lightweight. I haven't bought from any of the online knife stores before and was hoping to get feedback on some of them from the membership here -- I've seen some of the online reviews, but they are, as usual, contradictory and hard for me to parse. Looking at Blade HQ, Knivesshipfree, DLT Trading, Smoky Mountain Knifeworks, Knife Center. I'm sure there are lots of other sellers, large and small, but again, I'm new at this online buying. All my other knives have been through a store or directly from the maker (Matt Lesniewsky). Thanks. ________ Homo sum: humani nil a me alienum puto | ||

I've bought from all the ones you listed, never an issue. I like Knivesshipfree, as I perceive they are a small family business, and their prices are competitive. NRA Life Member - "Fear God and Dreadnaught" | |||

I've done quite a bit of business with Blade HQ and DLT. Just ordered a SAK from DLT yesterday infact. Never an issue with either company. Quick shipping and recieved exactly what I'd ordered. When I was living in Utah I visited Blade HQ's retail store and always received top notch customer service. ----------------------------------------------- What's the sense in working hard if you never get to play? | |||

I've ordered from BladeHQ and Smokey Mountain with no issues. Sometimes, you gotta roll the hard six | |||

I have purchased from most of the vendors listed with positive experiences. The online vendor I like the most, however, is The Knifeworks, not to be confused with Smokey Mountain Knifeworks. This space intentionally left blank. | |||

I have both long term and recent experience with virtually all the major online knife sellers. In my estimation, BladeHQ has the best website to look-up both knives and specs....however Knifeworks & DLT Trading have the finest customer service, fastest shipping and are competitive price-wise with all other sellers. (And, to the OP, Knifeworks is located in Columbia, LA.) ---------------------------------------- “The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.” | |||

I've dealt with DLT Trading and they are great to deal with! No problems whatsoever! Good people.. "Shoot lower, Sheriff, They're ridin' shetlands" May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco? | |||

Pretty much all of the above. GP Knives could be another. https://www.gpknives.com/brand...spyderco-para-3.html ____________________________________________________ The butcher with the sharpest knife has the warmest heart. | |||

As others have said, pretty much all of the above. I've done very well with Knifeworks, Knifecenter, Blade HQ, and Knivesshipfree. No problems with any of them; usually bought the most competitive for the knife I was looking for. | |||

I've bought knives from a lot of the above sellers. Always had good service. Kershawguy is a great guy to deal with. https://kershawguy.com "But, as luck would have it, he stood up. He caught that chunk of lead." Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock | |||

I have dealt with the Knifecenter and Knivesshipfree. Both are solid, efficient businesses with every order I have placed delivered correctly and on time. I would say they have great customer service but I haven't had to contact either one directly since the original transactions have been problem free. Another one to consider is AG Russell (https://agrussell.com/). They carry more special runs and knives from certain bladesmiths, not always the lowest price but good service. Let me help you out. Which way did you come in? | |||

BladeHQ Houseofblades Those are my go to. GP knives has price gouged people in the past The guy who owned knivesshipfree passed away recently and I don't know if they are still as good as they were. Most manufacturers have implemented pricing control is so it's almost 6 of one, half dozen of another when buying. I know people at Houseofblades and they are cool. BladeHQ does a crap ton for the knife community. | |||

Really? I’ve seen no notice of that and no mention in their personalized emails. They moved to Chattanooga a few years ago and I used to stop by when working up there. They are great people and fun to talk to. They’ll go back and pull inventory and give you the pick of the litter. | |||

Yes, they discussed it in some of their emails a couple of years ago. I think they were still in Escanaba, MI when that happened. AFAIK, his wife Wendy is now running the business. This space intentionally left blank. | |||

BladeHQ, KnivesPlus, and KnifeCenter. Knivesshipsforfree will need to try. “Forigive your enemy, but remember the bastard’s name.” -Scottish proverb | |||

As above.
