I really tried to talk myself into buying the MK3 since it really did seem to be everything I wanted in a knife, but the $35 shipping to Canada just pushed the price a little too high for me.

At the time they had free shipping too and I even emailed them and asked if they'd just discount me the equivalent of the US shipping price from the total but unfortunately they wouldn't ... it seems silly in retrospect, but I think that $8 discount might have pushed me over the edge smile

Oh, well.
