The median tariff rate worldwide is currently 2.6%. The US tariff rate is 1.5%, which remains one of the lowest in the world.

Re: Dodgy knife received from Heinnie Haynes. Advice sought.

Just got this in the mail, and I'm impressed. It's every bit as nice as the HH exclusives and it's great that it's regular production. I'll be using it often.

Still over my personal knife price but that’s a lot more reasonable than I thought! Thanks.
A little pricier than the larger Spymyto but I guess that’s what a year (and a MAP hike) will do.

The SpyNano looks nice, but a flash batch with titanium will most likely be around $300.
