I have. Sharing once again.

Good site. Huge selection. Reasonable prices.

Expensive on shipping, customs duties, and conversion rates unless you are buying a number of pieces. Before I knew better, I paid double the price of a knife once. They use Fedex, which necessarily takes the goods through Customs. If they sent through USPS, this might be avoided / reduced.

Disclaimer: Most of my international brand knives are from KC. Haven't used many other site except maybe one or two pieces.

i either use my khukhri of m-teck knife for cutting logs or trimming branches, but i was eager to see the performance of CS as the marketing division of cold steel talks a-lot about their products..
knife is really good, but as u said, not as good as my khukhri for heavy work...
just browsing KC and c2i for more heavy stuff....

The coating of any knife will wear out with use. It does not reflect the performance of the steel or the knife in any manner.
Both KC and C2I have given prompt service and updates. Both have delivered within 7 to 15 days whenever i have ordered in the past.
It is worth checking the prices on both sites before ordering as sometimes either one has better prices than the other.

Better try kc.com
Knifecenter.com has wide range of pup both single edge and double edge, alomg with they are offering discount on pup varying from 20% to 40%
As discussed earlier, do order more then one knife to avoid excess payment

Guys, a heads up...... while C2I quotes prices in INR, KC is in USD. Even the final prices are in USD. Now, I had a bad experience with one of my credit cards, which converted USD to INR at a rate approx. 10% higher than the market rate on that date. And of course, I didn't get to know till such time as I got the statement!

Better check with your card issuing bank what is the premium they charge on FX transaction. The SMS from them will also say "final FX charges and rates apply".
