I just found out something about Howe's. Free shipping unless you are an international buyer. I won't be thinking their prices are high any more. Free shipping makes up for about any difference in price on the less expensive sites that add shipping. I've seen temporary free shipping with a code or something on other sites but across the board free shipping is something new to me. Has this been their practice for a long time?

I will contest that Jim is top notch! Fastest shipping I have had from anyone. He will take care of you. Pricing is just like anyone else. Som are a little higher and some are lower priced than competitors.
I am sceptical on preordering the new sprints, etc that were just announced. Reason being is because I bought a sage 4 collector from Jim, not find out that CS is almost $20 cheaper. Jim has price matched for me in the past, its just hard right now since he is the only one to have preorders on the new sprints that were just announced. I might do it anyway because I like Jim, really want those knives and his pricing usually isn't too far off of the best deals

I was on Howe's pre-order list for the Yo2. I got one quite sooner than others who were also wanting the Yo2. Isn't that reason enough Jack? I don't tend to overthink things like these.

The extra seven bucks is one meal at Micky D's. No sweat on that part.jackknifeh wrote: But if I really wanted the knife and am willing to pay $50 for it I'd still get if it cost $57.

I did just buy a Manix2 in CPM M4 from Howe's. It came within two or three days. Great service. I was happy with the price and the product. Jack, I know that you have one of these also, and that you like it.
Now, if I could just find a PM2 in S90V.

is this even possible? BBS is the exclusive on this. I am pretty sure Jim does not have any M4 manix's.Sonny wrote:The extra seven bucks is one meal at Micky D's. No sweat on that part.

I do love the Manix2 with M4. I'd recommend it to anyone as a great work knife. It opens envelopes pretty good also. :DSonny wrote:The extra seven bucks is one meal at Micky D's. No sweat on that part.

When I started this thread I mentioned something about Howe's (or any) site keeping the "non-refundable" deposit if someone cancels and the site selling the knife anyway and also having the deposit. I apologize for that and I want to retract any implication that I was directing that theory directly at Howe's or anyone as being greedy. I wasn't implying that but I can see how it looks like I was. So, please just forget I mentioned it please. That's easier than anything I think.
