This thread could contain user reviews on the sites from those who have used them.
eBay (dot in & dot com): I have got only one decent original piece - my Tramontina machete. In my experience, eBay is the online version (at least in case of knives) of Shanghai's famous underground market! After getting cheated a few times, I stopped using eBay as a source of anything. Better pay more and stick to good sites.
lightorati.com: although focussed on lights, they also keep some knives, mostly Gerber, almost same prices as outdoortravelgear.com. I had a very good experience on buying a light from them.
I got a lot of decent stuff from Oliveplanet (including Cold Steel Bushman), but they seem to be running out of stocks. Many knives (as well as other stuff) are shown out of stock for the last few months! High demand, or bad supply chain?
I have mentioned this before, but Aramex Courier has a service called Ship & Save. They give you an international address, and you put in that address in your amazon (or whatever) order. Subsequently, Aramex ships it to your location in India. This costs 600 INR / year (at least that's what it cost me). I ordered some stuff from Amazon, which said "does not ship to India". No knives unfortunately. You can go to their site, they have a link to Ship & Save, which will give you the numbers to call.
Cheers!
