Thread: Canadian Source for Shapton Hones?

Finding these at less than retail seems to be a lost cause.

Is there a canadian distributor so I can at least avoid brokerage fees and duty?

Thanks,

Bob, chances are that even if you come across a local distributor, you'll still get dinged with customs/brokerage and an additional markup. That's what I found out searching for Spyderco UF. You might as well order from the manufacturer and see if they'd be willing to ship via USPS (less of a chance of getting dinged, but you probably will considering the declared value). At least you'll pay $5 in brokerage instead of $20.

I've found 3 distributors in the US. Left an email w/ shapstones and will see how it goes.
