Being fairly new to the forums and not posted much as yet, feel a little embarrassed that I too have been lucky enough to be one of the winners of this particular raffle .
Also have a feeling of being here under slightly false pretences as I know absolutely nothing about flashlights and am only here for the relatively small knives section !
Got a collection of well over 100 knives but, being in the UK, I’m becoming increasingly reluctant to make any purchases from non EU countries, after having so many seized by Customs (even though the knives in question were all perfectly legal to own here and indeed are, for the most part, readily available from UK retailers - totally illogical :~ ).
It just sticks in the craw that one has to pay 2-3 times the price to buy the same knives within the UK/EU .
And they have a Trader named Hatethatgiraffe. I'm in the U.S. so I've never bought anything from HTG. He might not be as inexpensive as Exduct, but he has an excellent reputation on British Blades. Here's one of his sale threads: http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?155756
HTG might have more for sale than what is in that thread. Sign up for British Blades and send him a private message if what you want isn't in that thread.
I signed up to British Blades some time ago (but have yet to post) and was vaguely aware of HTG (how come he/she can get all these Chinese knives into the UK ?!).
As you say, the prices are higher than Exduct, but at least you know you’re going to get the goods !
Has anyone been in contact with jackyhu recently ? Almost two weeks has passed since last raffle draw and there are no winning coupons yet. But more importantly no other activity from jackyhu either. Hope he is OK…
Just got an email back from Jacky. He’s just been busy with the business and hasn’t been on the forum for a while. He’ll work on the winners coupon and get it out.
Indeed. This is what he said on 23 November:
”

i did not visit the BLF forum for some time.
Best regards,

Should I send a follow up email? Maybe I’ll give him until the 23 of this month.
