I have bought from Colin in the past but recently asked asked him to sell a number of knives I no longer wanted on a commission basis, and am extremely pleased with the results. Using a dealer who
attends shows on a regular basis proved to be the most convenient way to dispose of my knives, and in addition the prices realised were realistic and gratifying. His service has been knowledgeable,
professional and friendly throughout, and I would not hesitate to recommend Colin and his website to anyone interested in either selling or purchasing knives. -
extremly pleasant deal, would do business again

Many thanks for your trust and courtesy during our recent transaction. The knives were exactly as described and the prices very keen to match. I will certainly be doing business again in the near

Colin's reputation as a top notch dealer is well deserved and I am sure I will be buying more from him the future. -

use the site again. -
I am very pleased with the Alan Wood knife i have just purchased, exactly how described. I'm very pleased with the design of the knife and the fact that it has arrived promptly. I cant wait to put
this bushcraft knife to the test. Colins communication with me was excellent answering all of my questions; after receiving the knife i asked him what the handle was made from, he doesn't know but he
is going to contact the maker. A very helpful and professional knife dealer. -
I have just recieved a most wonderful Alan Wood Border Bushcraft knife from Colin, and good lord it is nice.
The picture does in no way do this item justice, the finish is like nothing i have owned and used. Colin was a dream to deal with, a genuine man with knowledge and enthusiasm.
As others have mentioned, when you deal with Colin, your mails get answered quickly.

would not hesitate to use his services again. -
"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.
I have no hesitastion in highly recommending Coilin and the knives he sell - you will be in good hands whether you are buying or selling a knife."

nervous, but I needn\'t have worried. The knife arrived promply, well packaged, and exactly as described. A real pleasure to deal with Colin! Many thanks -
I have dealt with Colin various times and talked to him at shows, I have to say that I think he is one of the nicest blokes I have ever met, very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. I could not
recommend him highly enough and hope to deal with him for many years to come. Keep up the great work Colin! -
I would like to thank Colin for the excellent service I have received.
Having asked him to look out for a bushcraft knife for me, he discussed my needs and gave me some sage advise on possible alternatives. After only a few days he had found the perfect knife for my
requirements.
Great service, communication & price what more could you aske for? Highly recommended. -

Outstanding! My first time dealing with Colin. Cant say it be my last. Great service and a greater human being.
Thank you for everything and for my new toy. Trustworthy 110% -
Very friendly service, and a really fantastic knife, very pleased. You won't be disappointed.
-
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! -
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. -
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. -
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.
-
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! -
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.
-
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.
-
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 -
Hi, Colin.
Knife arrived today and couldn't be happier. Many thanks for an excellent service - you are a credit to the trade. -
Would love to thank Colin so much for sourcing and purchasing a vintage cold steel magnum tanto on my behalf. 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.

Hi Colin.
Knife received and I am delighted with it.
Many thanks. -
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.
Fred from France -
Absolutely blown away with the one to one service provided with delivery times that defy time itself. Colin is an old school trustworthy type which is very rare nowadays. look forward to do business again. Thanks 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.
-
Highly recommended.Bought several knives from Colin and always had excellent service.
Recently acquired a CKHunter and can't speak highly enough about it. New favourite knife. Thanks -

This is the first time I have had dealings with Colin, but it certainly won't be the last, this gentleman went above and beyond with his customer service, especially when I had specific posting requests.
I can't recommend him enough. Also his description of his products are bang on.
Thanks again. -
This is the first time I have purchased from Colin but after this experience it will not be the last. You are a true Gent Colin in every sense of the word. Nothing was too much trouble and absolutely first class service. A real pleasure to do business with you and looking forward to many more purchases. Thanks again.
