Let's see, US$27.99 + US$7 = US$34.99 which is $38.15 CAD.
Amazon.ca has the same knife for $38.66 with free shipping. Yes, you pay taxes on it, which might bump it to $43.30 (for provinces with 12% tax). I'm not sure that $5 savings are worth the waiting time, the hassle in case of a return, and the possibility of cross-border headaches that purchasing from MD would entail. Oh, and our American friends can have it for $31.89 off Amazon.com.
I really appreciate MD including blades. I would just hope that the focus would be on better deals. If you have to target higher end knives to bring such deals forth, I'd be more than happy to support the effort with my wallet.

acangianoAwesome! Please share links of the prices you mentioned for our community members that have Amazon Prime Membership and don't want to wait.
In terms of higher end blades, check out the Landi Knife that is currently live: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/landi-bushcraft-knife. While it's not EDC, it's been getting great feedback among our community.
Cheers,

Wilazni would too, but most people on here aren't just looking for knives, so anything over 100$ can be scary to someone with little knowledge of knives. these ones do good because they look good, have a reputable name and are 20-30$ which i consider an impulse buy. I would know, i bought both of the previous drops on impulse.
acangianoFair comment if you can source this from Amazon in your region, but just to make you aware in the UK and many other's we can't buy this from there as law's apply to supplying and carry laws. But that doesn't mean that sites like MD cannot supply individuals, as long as they have a shipping company willing to do it. Sites like MD now gives us the option to buy these now, and obviously it's your choice if you want to buy or if the saving + time is worth it, however, it does give others around the globe the opportunity to purchase such products.
