The box was not opened carefully. The tip of the knife is bent. The blade of the second knife is chipped.

Thank you for the shipment which was fast and well packaged.
As for the product, I am disappointed. For me, it is not a self-defense tool but rather for training. This mistake is partly my fault since I did not inform myself about the G10 material.
No sharp edge.

The delivery of the package was very fast. I ordered a collectible Swiss knife titled 'Year of the Snake', but I noticed that the golden presentation card of the Chinese sign was folded. This is not normal for a new item...

I received my 1911 scratched at the level of the bolt catch while it is new. They were aware and sent it as is without even mentioning this 'detail'. Reason why it was not for sale on site. But by mail, we try. I called them to report the problem and they offered me a commercial gesture. I accepted it but still haven't seen it despite my follow-ups. I will not order from them again.

Hello,
Fast shipping, however I placed two orders, and on both, an issue.
I first ordered a Bastinelli the sanction, the knife is very good but the kydex sheath does not match the kydex sheath presented in the knife's presentation photo.
Second order, I ordered an Akeron Eklipse orange g10 plus two soft loops, I received two different soft loops, one in rubber and the other in polymer fabric and it was missing the snap button, so unusable.

It was terrible, the shop is located in France but I wanted the item to be delivered in the UK, at the checkout I paid an item price plus shipping price above 18 pounds. But turns out when UPS delivered the item to the PO box in the UK, they had to collect 87 more pounds for delivery.

Very mixed, call to warn that they have a shipping issue (that's good) and promise to make a small gesture in compensation. Obviously, there was no gesture for the delay caused, if you can't take responsibility for your proposals, don't make them.
So it makes me doubt their seriousness in case of a more important issue.

Hello, I had bought a stiletto which once handled showed, how to say... very poor quality. The safety system was moving around in its housing. On the positive side, you immediately suggested I return it, which I did after my phone call. I am now waiting for confirmation that the package containing the knife has indeed reached you to proceed with the transfer of the refund for the above item to my bank account. Thank you and have a good day.

Hello. You ordered a basic product on which it is difficult to provide finishes equivalent to a high-end product. The knife worked perfectly, however, your satisfaction remains our priority, we have proceeded with your refund as per your request. Thank you for your trust.

Problem with my order, I was sent the wrong model of knife...
I contact customer service which is very responsive and we proceed to the exchange without problems, it just took a few more days.
But upon receipt of the second package, it is indeed the right knife but it is not the case I ordered.
I contact customer service again and there are neither responses nor apologies...
In short, mixed feelings for a store that wants to be serious.

The pepper spray ordered is tiny, while the photo is large, it's a trick of the eye!
How to sell such a small pepper spray, there is no interest and especially for that price, it's disappointing.

My order took a very long time to be sent. After having contacted the team several times by phone to make sure I was getting the Maverick vp edition prepared, I was not informed about my request. Moreover, the announcement said that the weapon was delivered in a case, received in a box. After my call, I was told that a mistake had been made on the announcement and they committed to sending me a case but then called me back to cancel that commitment. For 1400 € spent honestly, I am disappointed.

I ordered a Microtech Troodon knife .. so great they have the reference and the price is as expected. However, I did not receive the correct version! Okay, I reply to the email that it's fine with me but I would at least like the invoice to match... and nothing, no response. A bit disappointing for my first order.

While the order was delivered quickly and refunded within a reasonable time, the attitude of the employee I dealt with was extremely unpleasant. I returned a Chris Reeve knife (I own 3 of the same model in Small version) as it was impossible to open with one hand: for a knife of this price, it is unacceptable, especially since I had never had this problem with this brand (I admit to having CRs dating from 2009 to 2016 for the Inkosi small, and I know that many rumors speak of a constantly declining quality both in terms of adjustments and heat treatment). After being told that I needed to grease it, disassemble it, and readjust it myself (a shame for a new high-end knife), I was met with contemptuous remarks after receiving my return: while I had cut my thumb trying to open the knife with the thumb stud, the employee told me it was

Hello. You are asking me to write a review for something I have not yet received. I will only tell you that for a collector, it is very important that shipments are not delayed. I have bought knives from Italy, Germany, Finland and everywhere via UPS. The shipping cost me about half of yours. The main thing is that I received it within 3 days. So I advise you to please change shipping company because Chronopost is very bad and loses customers. Thank you.

Hello,
You ordered this Monday 12/04/2021 at 02:08:48.
Being closed this Monday, your order was prepared, packaged and dropped off at the post office on Tuesday 13/04/2021 at 16:30.
The tracking of your package shows us that the post started the delivery on Wednesday 14/04/2021.
We are Thursday 15/04/2021.
It may be a bit hasty to rate us so harshly....
It is especially unjustified to rate the quality of our website based on your judgment of the service of one of our carriers.....who is 12 hours late....in full lockdown....
According to the tracking of your package, it will be delivered to you this Friday.
Best regards,
Baptiste, AB.

Hello,
Sorry for the negative feedback and sorry to see that your parcel is on the way, but colissimo says 4 to 6 days for delivery, so we are within the time.
We do not have many possibilities for payment options, Paypal doesn't want to work with us.
Regarding your order, your parcel was shipped less than two hours after your payment.....
We are considering the possibility of offering UPS shipping in the near future.
