Howdy quietuslstd! Welcome to <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>Land! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

My first move would be to verify to knife laws. Nothing would be worse than laying out the cash for a Millie, then getting it confiscated.

Next, there are a number of excellent knife sales sites online that ship internationally. I would try one of those, but only after checking it on the "good, bad & ugly" forum on bladeforums.

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

Thanks for the reply,actually the millie in Singapore is illegal to bring out to the streets. However, I usually only use it on outdoor trips and stuff like that. (who will carry a 3+ incher with him all the time). I just want to get a knife to complement my Leatherman Wave (good multitool but suxx on hard heavy jobs). My wave has been abused by me and the straight edge drop point knife is really getting dull.

Hi quietuslstd......You might want to try Sng Arms in Trengganu Steet, Chinatown or Beach road near the Raffles hotel...I think they both stock Spydies.

Give William at Sheares 62700337 a call.. He might be able to fix one for you. Or when you want to examine one up close, get to SNG Arms at Chinatown, go the second level where they store the knives.. Anyway, check with the ARMS and EXPLOSIVE DEPARTMENT at Ladyhill.. I don't think you can pack in a folder with all the heat in Singapore dude.. <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

True True I have already examined the knife up close at Sng Arms but the price they quoted for the knife is quite ridiculous. At least three times more expensive as compared to the american prices. but mostly i am interested in the knife as a show piece, won't want to walk around in singapore carrying this huge monster <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Yeah, especially after the 911 incident, the security around here is tighter than usual. Btw this William fellow is he staff of Sng Arms?

Nah, William runs a knifeshop called sheares which is located at 43, Beach Road. Its opposite the Shaw Building and a couple of rows down Raffles hotel.

Expensive? Well, if you compare internet knifestore rates, you'll definitely be shocked with the RRP difference. Try to import knives into Singapore, you'll be contacted by the AED for further clearance.. Anyway, if you can find them off the shelves, better get it while its hot! SNG ARMS in my humble opinion, is well stocked. They have lotsa knives from the early 90's which have long been discontinued. If you want to build a collection, this is a good place to start.

Well, take my advice dude ~ If you have nothing to do with the Singapore Law and Enforcement Agencies, better keep your knives at home where you can admire them.. Packing an "offensive" weapon in the public can lead to plenty of undesireable situations.. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
