Switzerland is no EU member I'm afraid

Compare prices between knivesandtools.de, *.nl and *.fr

Some I haven't dealt with but which can be assumed good and/or have something unique:

www.kataba.co.uk <- Another Yamakawa importer
www.sabatier-shop.com (France) <- factory shop of what is considered the best or second best sabatier brand.
www.warenhaus-schulz.de aka www.naniwa-deutschland.de <- Mizuno importer
www.japan-shop-morita.de <- Suisin importer
www.couteaujaponais.com <- french, they have Masakage (no Shimo )/Kotetsu

@Benuser you'd have to deep compare the combo offers

Not so much. Typos, laziness...
Same stuff with 40% less is quite common.

Please guys avoid any shopping from http://thechoppingblockco.co.uk
They/he took my money. Fortunately Paypal refunded the price.

Yeah, that really surprises me. Something pretty strange happening there.

Do you think you would be able to get your money back if you would pay with credit card?

I don´t know. Contacting to bank would be a good idea. Paypal worked really fine to me.

?! I dealed with him two times (with mail exchanges ahead) . I had a very good experience.

EDIT: It was more than a year ago.

You must have been unlucky. I misordered something from him and he refunded immediately. That was within the last 6 months!

I agree that, but I don´t know whats happening there. He should put the shop down if theres no time to make business. It doesn´t feel or look like fake-shop or something, but he never mailed or anything to me back when I was asking about my order. I hope the guy is fine..

Anyway, buying from the EU, I've always been very happy with Japanesechefsknife.com, and my local customs officers who never charged me with import tax, VAT, or handling costs.
