  Colin provides a fantastic service and is a pleasure to talk to. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable - I received my knife at a very fair price, exactly as described and sent by RMSD so I could track its progress to me. A really great experience.

  Colin is an absolute pleasure to do business with. We spoke at the beginning of the week about a couple of knives featured on his site (he's a very knowledgeable man when it comes to knives), I made my decision and paid via bank transfer on Tuesday, Colin shipped my purchase on Wednesday and it is now here with me on Thursday; everything was perfect from start to finish. If you're looking for that special knife, I would definitely recommend checking out what Colin has to offer!

• Joanna Burgess (Saturday, January 07 23 08:54 pm GMT)

  My best online shopping experience ever. Unbelievably kind and friendly service, so helpful, so generous with his time, Colin is definitely one of those rare breed a true gentleman, who values the quality of customer service he offers, as highly as the quality of the stunning Knives he sells. Postage could not have been faster and every step of the way Colin help my hand. I was buying for my husband as a surprise and Colin helped me pull off the biggest surprise present that I’ve ever managed to get past my gorgeous but very observant husband, ever!!!
  Communication with Colin was next level and the knife itself was immaculate, a thing of great beauty, even to my untrained eye.
  What more can I add other than if you have the smallest concern, don’t, Colin is fabulous and buying from him has been a joy every step of the way.
  Couldn’t have had a more perfect purchasing experience. Thank you so very much Colin it truly has been a pleasure.

  It is important for me to leave a comment on this website because in this day and age I feel that it is rare to find good people that you can really trust who have a word and care about what they do.

• Alan Mundy (Tuesday, January 22 19 12:26 pm GMT)

  I can’t rate and recommend Colin’s service and support highly enough. Having purchased a couple knives from him he has consistently been incredibly forthgiving of his time and knowledge. It was a real education and pleasure to spend some time with him and his subject matter expertise and passion shone through. It also ensured I had total confidence that I was making the right choices. Thanks again Colin, I look forward to dealing with you soon when I add the next one to my collection.

• Rob S (Sunday, January 13 19 12:16 pm GMT)

  Made my first purchase with Colin this week. Excellent service from start to finish even over the hectic Christmas period. I was able to reserve the knife with no trouble and at the mention of preferring a left handed sheath, it was whisked back to the maker and in my hands within a few days. Can sum up as efficient, easy and thoroughly decent to deal with. I will have every confidence in ordering from Colin in future.

• Harry. Surrey (Wednesday, December 12 18 01:01 pm GMT)

  It was with complete surprise that I found myself discussing with Colin, the purchase of an Alan Wood Damascus knife. " I do have a 'cracker' but it is not the shape you want and doesn't have a sheath either.." said Colin. A week went by as I ruminated over the pictures before deciding it was to be mine! Colin then had Alan make a sheath, which exceeded my all my expectations. Yes - the knife is a 'cracker' and I'm loving it more and more each day. As always, Colin acted with courtesy, candour and "olde world" virtues, a rare commodity in this day and age and the design and quality of Alan's work leaves me speechless. I am so glad I listened to Colin and was able to avail myself to this treasure. Who said, "Christmas doesn't come early ?". An enormous Thank you !

• David W. (Saturday, September 08 18 09:22 am BST)

  Hi Colin.
  Knife received. Very, very pleased with the knife, sheath and service. All excellent.
  Thank you.

• Richard Winch (Monday, August 27 18 08:15 pm BST)

  I would like to say that this company and the owner is one of the best I have come across .
  Personal treatment, excellent question response, all honest answers, and received my order bang on time , and I’m awkward due to my life , thank you colin !

• Steve. TEXAS. (Saturday, August 25 18 03:39 pm BST)

  This was my first purchase and it was a pleasure dealing with Colin. The Pena knife was exactly as described and shipping to the United States was quick. I would not hesitate to purchase another High End knife from Colin. Thank you !

• Andy Williams (Friday, August 24 18 02:57 pm BST)

  I recently bought a rare Ebel 1911 Discovery from Colin I'd previously spent years searching for a new or nearly new one with no success especially one in A1 condition until one evening I stumbled on to the Custom Knife website and found this stunning piece. The description sounded to good to be true but it's exactly how it was described, on my first enquiry I knew I was dealing with an honest and genuine person who was extremely helpful and courteous, the watch is now proudly sitting in my collection and I adore it. Thank you Colin it was a pleasure doing business with you a true gentleman.

• Pedro Spain (Tuesday, July 31 18 11:39 am BST)

  He always has first class knives.
  Fast and safe shipping.
  Excellent communication with Colin.
  Highly recommend international seller.

• Harry A. (Friday, July 20 18 08:54 pm BST)

  Having decided I needed a quality knife to use in the field, I turned to Colin for advice. There were many choices on his website but some were too good for field use and Colin recommended a new Alan Wood Classic Hunter. The knife was just what I needed although the sheath was not what I was used to. Lo and behold, Colin spoke to Alan and a different sheath was duly made and supplied without any fuss.
  Throughout the whole process, both Colin and Alan acted with enormous courtesy, honesty and "olde worlde" virtues rarely encountered in this day and age.
  Would I recommend Colin? Yes, of course and without hesitation. It has been an absolute pleasure and I will be delighted to continue trading with Colin.

• Chris Marsh (Friday, July 20 18 04:18 am BST)

  Thanks Collin for a fantastic hard to find knife!! I will be watching your site daily to see whats new. Great communication and very fast shipping to the U.S. I was surprised how fast I received my knife. Thanks again!

• Marksteen Adamson (Tuesday, May 22 18 11:01 pm BST)

• Stu (Thursday, March 22 18 12:22 am GMT)

  Colin is a real gentleman and cares about his customers and is always willing to help and offer advice. I really would recommend Colins website and purchasing from him to anyone who is looking for the very best British quality and craftsmanship of knives. If it was not for Colin’s help to work with me I wouldn’t have the bushcraft knife of my dreams and I’m forever greatful to a colin for that and I won’t forget that. I highly regard Colin and trust him as he has trusted me and I will definitely be back very soon. Thank you for working with me Colin !

  I can't sing Colin's praises any higher. I sold a knife through him recently and I have to say how happy I am with the resulting sale. Colin achieved a price higher than I expected and in less time than I expected. For me the icing on the cake was the quality on communication. Colin was always courteous and professional. What a great person to deal with. Highly recommend.

  Hello.
  I'm Fred from France. I ordered my Bayley S4 knife from Colin and it was a super easy transaction.
  I emailed Colin for some questions regarding the knife and the procedure to pay and I received a kind answer as fast as it was possible.
  Then I made my payment and the knife was shipped the exact same day and received few days later. A great packaging for a great knife. All in all, an excellent transaction, and Colin is really kind. I didn't have some special requests but I'm sure you can ask and he will try to do his best to meet your expectations. First time I was ordering such a piece and I'm really glad with it.
  Thank you Colin.

We had never met or done business together and yet he pulled out the stops and trusted in me and got this beautiful knife for me. He made payment very easy and his postage was quick and great. Upon opening it, iy truly was as Colin described. As new and immaculate. He really made a dream come true. I cannot recommend Colin and Customknife.co.uk enough
  A true gent and will def do business again.
  Thanks Colin.

• Ian. Essex. (Friday, November 25 16 09:26 am GMT)

  Hi, Colin.
  Knife arrived today and couldn't be happier. Many thanks for an excellent service - you are a credit to the trade.

• Patrick M. AUSTRALIA. (Monday, September 05 16 10:52 pm BST)

  An absolute pleasure dealing with a true Gentleman. Colin was kind, informed, prompt and courteous answering my questions before, during and after my purchase.
  Rarely experienced this level of care, matched only by the quality of the knives Colin re-homes.
  Colin handled my International shipping to Australia flawlessly, even arrived early.
  Thank you Colin, look forward to the next purchase

• Huw Edwards (Tuesday, August 30 16 12:16 pm BST)

  I've been buying from Colin for some years now. The process remains faultless. My recent Puma is a great addition to my collection. Many thanks, Colin.

• Graham (Friday, July 29 16 08:08 pm BST)

  I had a knife to sell and contacted Coilin. He sold the knife within hours of listing it on his website. Colin is a pleasure to do business with.

• Julian (Thursday, April 28 16 07:05 pm BST)

  I just received my knife from Colin and wanted to note what great service he has provided. I gave him an outline spec for the knife I wanted and he came back with the perfect knife. I'd be very happy
  to recommend him to anyone and I'm sure I'll be buying more from him!

• Scott (Sunday, April 24 16 02:12 pm BST)

  I'm a US customer, and Colin provided great customer service. The transaction and shipping were easy, and the knife was exactly as described. I will be back.

• FRANK JONES (Sunday, April 03 16 07:48 pm BST)

  I found Colin's website purely by accident. Not having any pre-conceptions about what I was looking for, I thought I would know it if I saw it. In fact, I found two knives and another that did not
  show as for sale. I emailed Colin and soon had all the answers I needed. Colin has a way of putting you at ease and gives you sound advice to make your decision to buy or not. He will go that bit
  extra by telling you the story behind what you are interested in, if there is one. I came, I saw and came away with 3 knives.
  Would I recommend Colin, yes without hesitation. My transaction took less than 24hrs to complete from finding what I wanted to dropping on my mat at home.
  Thanks Colin.

• Ken Paviour (Thursday, March 31 16 08:33 pm BST)

  I had 2 knives to sell and chose to use Colin's site because of the good feedback. I can say that both sales were completed as smoothly as I could have wished (one outright sale, the other on
  commission)and I am really pleased with the prices obtained. Colin is both trustworthy and a pleasure to deal with and I would recommend him to anyone.

• Valerie and Jason (Thursday, January 28 16 05:47 am GMT)

  We found Colin's website and were very impressed. We are in Northern California, USA but Colin responded very quickly and the transaction was a breeze. Our rare and gorgeous Bowie knife arrived
  promptly and was well packed. We will be watching his site in the future. Thanks, Colin!

  "Colin at Customknives UK really knows about the knives he is selling and his customer service is excellent. The knife I bought from him arrived promply and was well packaged, with a note from Colin
  which was a nice touch. He followed this up to see if I was happy with the knife which in truth exceeded my expectation in both it's quality and design. Thank you Colin for a great knife.
