Sad thing : GPKnives won't ship to France at this time.
I won't be able to procure myself my first exclusive, wich is one I really was impatient for ! Really bummed.
I know freight forwarders do exist, but I never have trusted them so I wouldn't ever know where to start.

I never carry an N5 but I am tempted by the REX45 in DLC. Probably will pass but that price is right...

You can ask for someone here to buy it in your stead and ship it to you. You provide all the money needed, shipping and insurance included. Just be nice and tip him for the service.Ramonade wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 9:46 amSad thing : GPKnives won't ship to France at this time.

That's the solution I found to get some stuff from retailers that don't ship to Europe. I'm watching the Slysz Bowie exclusive knifejoy like a hawk.

There are forwarding services that provide you with an US adress (of course just a post box) for free, so you can order stuff to there and the service will forward it to you for pretty little money (I think I paid like 12 USD last time... and then the usual taxes and tariffs of course).Ramonade wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 9:46 amSad thing : GPKnives won't ship to France at this time.

I used to us "myus", but unfortunately they don't ship "dangerous" items like pocket knives no more , and I did not look for an alternative yet. But there are more companies offering forwarding service.
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

I think that's what I'm gonna do, the forum is full of very nice people, and there is some of them I already trust more than most companies . I don't have much time though, this is gonna be a sprint more than a marathon.
Yes, the only difficulty here is finding the "right" forwarding service ^^. I've been offered a deal on a Rex45 N5 LW in Burnt orange too, maybe I should just try to secure that...Wartstein wrote: There are forwarding services that provide you with an US adress (of course just a post box) for free, so you can order stuff to there and the service will forward it to you for pretty little money (I think I paid like 12 USD last time... and then the usual taxes and tariffs of course).

Rex 45 DLC is pretty cool combo. I would want to swap the white handles for black if I got it.

Yep, too bad that "myus" has that crazy new policy... went smoothly and actually pretty cheap before that change, and is how I got my beloved HAP 40 sprints (Endura and Stretch) as well as Stretch 1 VG10 backup...Ramonade wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 2:17 pmYes, the only difficulty here is finding the "right" forwarding service ^^.

/ I personally would prefer the burnt orange REX 45 Native by much, cause for me a nice patina is actually one of the cool things with tool steels, and so I don't want them coated. Totally subjective and personal preference of course.

Re: Upcoming: GP Knives Native 5 LW DLC Rex 45 white FRN exclusive
Can't argue with you on that, none of my knives have a coated blade ! Thought to myself this could be the first one ^^ I'll have to meditate on this tomorrow, before deciding to go through the stress of chasing the exclusive or not. Since it is a color combination that'll attract all the nerds, I have to guess it won't be available for long!Wartstein wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 2:37 pm

I’ve wanted spydie rex45 since I missed the orange run, but white is really unappealing until I read this line. Haha, decisions, decisions. Wish it was easier to switch frn handles.

This is a cool combo! I've been mostly in the Seki camp now for a few years, but I think I am going to have to grab this.

Reasonably smooth for one today. Got a bit slow, but then it went through. I fought my knee-jerk reaction to get two, but caved on my reaction to get at least one. How many times will I buy the same knife?

I forgot to add a reminder for this in my phone. I wasn't going to get one but then I saw they come with cool stickers. One's on the way now

Got one. Surprisingly GP Knives charges sales tax now.
