Knives available online

Folks,

It seems oliveplanet.in has some knives (their mail says "will be available from Friday") - incl. Ka-bar, Bear Grylls, Gerber SF, and F&S (replica, I'm afraid). The prices seem a bit on the higher side (not sure as I have never imported premium stuff online, hence unaware of the final in-hand costs). But hey, at least there will be no nosy customs joker to hold up the shipment!

Cheers!

Very true. It's great to be able to get stuff locally. The guys at Olive Planet are very well informed and their products Excelent. Have purchased plenty of stuff from them.

Bruno sir, same request as Moin! From what I could make out from their mails (it seems I have got on their mailing list after ordering dog tags for my dog!), these are "limited stock" type stuff - more as a test market. Some of the stuff might disappear once the test market is done.

Well they have made a bold move in importing so many items. Will only be able to give u feedback on the knives end may or first week of June as that's when I will visit Bangalore. Hope they r not sold out by then.
The FS dagger to my mind is generic and there could be a host of manufactures. A good bet is its made in India and exported, then re imported! Will also call them and ask.

The FS Dagger available on Olive Planet is the real deal. The pictures were sent courtesy Olive planet upon me asking for more details.

The Hilt stamp reads J Novill & Sons, Sheffield, England. Just in case the pic uploaded is not clear.

Checked on the reviews of the FS commondo knife. Its a real deal but a replica and the blade is not usable. its only a pice of decoration and the black paint is cheap and chips. if you want a real thing do not go for this one. The "usable" versions of FS knives are minimum $150. My eyes are on cold steel bushman and the Tanto Boot knife which is currently out of stock.

Shashank, not sure what a usbale knife is. I am not writing it off just as yet, will wait fro someone like Bruno to check it out in person whenever he is in bangalore and give his opinion which I respect more than these internet reviews.

you can try dhgate.com they have a wide range of knives but the products are Chinese some of them however are authentic looking & of course cheaper.
