Congratulation, two top class knives...

P.S: You seem to have gigantic ogre sized hands, the full sized Kabar looks like Kabar short :mrgreen: in the pic you've posted.... :mrgreen: That is one large blade :mrgreen:

Best Regards

Thanks alot for this post, Kartik.
This will certaily boost confidence of others who want to import their dream knife.
Actually I am also dying to get few from K.C., but due to my experience during my air gun imports.
I felt that I should not increase my blood pressure as all nails are gone due to nail bitting during AG imports.
But now I see some light in the tunnel and definately take a plunge.

Was there any kind of document asked from you from the custom clearance team.

Thanks and Regards.

Great Story! Great knives. Everyone appreciates a Kabar!
Thanks for posting.

USPS is not infallible. I have had some good experiences with using their online tracking services and some horrible experiences. I once sent a registered letter and they were unable to provide me with delivery confirmation. Luckily the other party actually received the check that I sent but USPS was never able to confirm. It is after all a semi public institution and has plenty of Babu's.
UPS and Fedex are much more responsive. I think for mainly because if they mess up, they would lose their jobs unlike USPS. However, bot UPS and Fedex are much more expensive, especially for International shipments.

So I responded to your pm and saw your post here. I have some more info on USPS - they may not scan articles at all if it is priority mail international, typically postal workers from smaller US towns don't. Fortunately my knife turned up as well yesterday. :-)
