Pics please :mrgreen: Congratulations. Me want one too, torn between the Esee 5 and the BRKT ST-5, :mrgreen: What awesome brute's both. Any hassles with customs etc. and did you take the 40% Customs duty hit ? What was the final landed price in INR after shipping, duties etc.

Regards

Hi Moin

Thanx and yeah what a knife....awsome and you cant have the idea till you hold it in your hand. i am already in love with this sexy beast.

pics ....will upload...snag in the 3g dongle...!

the total price came out to be $ 269.49, i chose the upfront payment of customs duty...! which was $ 64 :cry:

dunno if i shud have paid it after recieving the courier, however this was my first purchase from US, so i thot let me have least disruptions.

And i must say it came very smoothly and tension free barring the delay because of backorder with esee knives.

DHL express was the courier service used by knifecentre.

DHL india was a lil irritatting, however it was overall a smooth transaction.

All is well that ends well.

:cheers:
