I just received (this morning) the package from Aeromedix.

Apparently, everything is alright : nothing damaged, during the trip from the USA to France.
A (very) small error in the declared value, increased (but just a bit) the customs taxes.
It's nothing compared to the total fees : shipping (via Fedex ; I guess US Postal is cheaper and a bit longer) and various taxes add a 46,6% markup to the items value. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

About the products :

Who said the RSK is sharp ???? No sir, it's extra sharp <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> !
Watch your fingers !!!

I also ordered the Bianchi sheath (that was before the comments re: that sheath on this forum). I will find a way to use it anyway.

Re: the PSK, I just have to add a red Photon III, a mini-BIC lighter and translate the survival instructions, before giving those PSK as gifts for Xmas.

I'm amazed by the accuracy of the compas : it seems much better than everything I have found up to now (including small Sylva compass - 50% of those are off target and don't show North !!)

Contents list : yes, as previously mentionned by another forum's member, the list is not correctly positionned in the pouch and is not visible from the outside, as stated on the commercial flyer.
I do like the warning : " Our lawyers tell us to warn you the (scalpel) blade is very sharp, so be careful" <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

And the commercial notice itself, inside the blister, is also very informative : it lists what each item is used for and what should be added to make a full survival kit, with Dougs comments.


All in all, I can only second what has already been said by other members on this forum : outstandingly good work, Doug and thanks again.
