Is "swissknifesale.com" a legit retailer?

[JradM]

Searching for a Mikov knife retailer I stumbled onto this website: swiss knife sale dot com. The business purports to be "Swissknife Import Store". What made me suspicious is that is just seems a little too good  - they have some very attractive prices and will ship to me in Canada.

Anyone ordered from there before?

Here's a couple things that make me suspicious:

• whois info indicates the domain was only registered this year. The contact is "Shuying Pan" in Zhejiang Province, Ningbo City, China
• I checked google maps for the business address. There's no street view of the location - but it appears to be a residential area.

I mean it could be a new business. The website is more compelling that most obviously fake sites I've seen. The prices are in the realm of possibility (e.g. not the typical "90% off! this offer expires in 2 minutes!!!).

If anyone has another source for Mikov SAK-style knives (e.g. the fixir models, not the autos), please let me know. I bought a Mikov from Taylor Toolworks a few years ago and really liked it. I've since misplaced it and wanted to purchase another - but Taylor Tools doesn't have them anymore,

I have never heard 9f them before, but the prices are better than the dealer prices I get in Canada!   

Well, maybe not quite, but not as far off as I'd like.

I see they take Paypal- I'd use that to pay, and if there is a problem you are always covered with PP.  That makes risking a purchase not much of a risk.

Let us know how it works out!

I might be paranoid, but it looks dodgy to me, way to cheap. And a first post asking about a new website? But again, I might be paranoid.

[JradM]

Yes. My first post. I'm not making a recommendation  though - quite the opposite. I'm also suspicious.

If anyone knows of another Mikov source that's more trustworthy, let me know!

The website set off my antivirus so not sure we should be posting that here, so go their at your own risk.

Uh oh. That didn't happen for me, but can I edit the post to remove the link?

Just took care of it for you.   

As for Pete's comment, don't take it too personal.  Often we get spammers that post once and it's a link to their store, and they pretend it isn't.

Where in Canada are you?  I'm in Halifax, but don't hold that against me!
