I've purchased knives, EDC and camping items from CEK for over 6 years, and never had a problem!
If your unsure of the availability of a listed item, it's as simple as sending an email. I've always received an answer, in a respectable time frame. Answers have always been "short and straight to the point".
Prices, well, try doing a currency conversion from AU$ into US$ then add postage through DHL from outside Australia, and then tell me CEK is expensive!
Prices have always been... Respectable, in my opinion!
Just my 2 cents.
Cheers
