i would like to purchase a karambit as my first knife.i found a couple on knifeindia, however i saw a post here saying knifeindia is basically a scam as the products are chinese knocoffs.
can someone recommend a site where i can get a genuine, quality karambit? or a karambit with total cost (delivery + knife) between 1500 and 2500????

Try knifecenter.com or cart2india.com. Have ordered on both and got prompt delivery of genuine stuff. May I ask why a karambit?

cart2india seems good. pricewise. ill see if they have anything in the preferred style.

first choice, karambit, because i like the aggressive styling. dont really have any everyday use for it, and dont anticipate having to rip someone up, but the potential usage(even though i wont use it that way), style just appeal to me.
second choice would be a Tanto type olding knife.

before buying any karambit please buy a trainer (or make one) these blades can give you nasty cuts in blood vein area(wrists). cart2india has chinese stuff.buying knives in India is so tuff. my self wanted sog seal team elite and im researching in boderlynx.com and not sure how customs will react if its success we can import from us

Cart2india has knives from various chinese manufacturers but the ones that are sold under different known brands are genuine and not chinese replicas. I have got quite a few ontario and cold steel knives from them and they were the real deal not cheap fakes. You simply choose what you want and pay cash when it is delivered. How much more simple or easy can it be??

I have got a couple from knifecenter.com but that was through a fellow ifg member. The prices seem a bit steep but when you add 30% duty and shipping costs, it is what it is. Such is the indian life

kshitji im working on buying knives from amazon.com through boderlinx.com. i asked boderlinx that will they ship knives and gave them a link of sog seal team elite in walmart. boderlinx has sent me confirmation mail that they will ship knives to India. i asked about custom charges to the shipper(DHL) and has sent me some reference of how customs are added in that they have given 10% only but how much it will be charged for custioms (actuals) and im searching for answers. if its really 10% its the best way ever to buy us knives in India

If your are really want to get the best karambit knife, then there are many options like KnifeIndia, knifecenter, Amazon and many more. One more thing I want to ask you that how you recognise any knife as chinese. If they are manufactured in china, that doesn't mean that they would be an low quality products. Cold Steel which is a popular knife brand have manufacture centres at china and this doesn't degrade their products quality. Same goes with the any online knife store. I have got many knives from KnifeIndia, Knifecenter as well and I do believe they are working well for me.

I contacted the borderlynx support staff, who promptly refused to ship any sharp items to India. How come certain people are told that knives can be legally imported via their site while the others are being refused?
