    No knives recently but things like dies come straight thru to my address with no hassles with the final delivery care of an NZ POST contractor.
    @shooternz Just had a look on Ebay. Seem to be a few originals around still, unless of course the Chinese are no stamping USA on the blades?

    Far better than the original Schrade Fingerling. Post direct from the States. No hassles.

    Nice knives but a totally different theme to owning a Schrade Old Timer.

    You don't need an import permit for projectiles - unless Customs think you're a dealer.

    The US export rules changed last year - for a small number (4 ?) orders a year you don't/won't need an export permit.
    Prior to that you needed an export permit that wasn't hard to get and cost (if I recall correctly) about US$200.

    I have imported projectiles for my own target shooting.
    Customs would get antsy when I bought in multiple shipments of 20lb boxes of 700 projectiles (600 185gr & 100 155gr plus packing). 1 box every 2 weeks or so for a couple of months.
    Customs would hold up the shipments every year.
    Every year I would give them the same documentation (that they had been sent the previous year) to get them to release them (after duty paid).

    I saved a little by importing, but getting the quantities when I wanted them was the main reason.

    Over 4 years I imported about 15,000 185 gr and 3,000 155 gr projectiles.
    That's helped given the current supply problems.
    Fortunately projectiles age well.
