Yes. Absolutely. Knives make wonderful presents that can be treasured for a lifetime. If you give me all the relevant information of the recipient, your order can sent directly to them.

Please do not use this option to bypass custom declarations.
CITES
While I’m knowledgeable of CITES, it is impossible that I know every species and or the regulations of your country/region of residence. It is your responsibility to know the applicable laws for your place of residence.
Should the knife comprise of CITES-protected materials, the relevant documentation will need to accompany the knife during transport from me to your chosen destination. This documentation may require additional fees to be levied.
It is recommended to keep these documents with the knife, should you ever wish to sell them. These documents may also be needed for cross-country/state travel as well.
Customs
Customers placing orders to be shipped internationally take all responsibility for any customs fees, duty taxes and import fees associated with the shipment.
I can only guarantee your order up to the point of entry and your country’s customs office, border agency, or government receives the package for inspection. After this, it becomes the Purchaser’s responsibility. I am not responsible for confiscation, loss or theft whilst the orders is with authorities. Should it be confiscated by authorities, the full value of the items will not be refunded to you.
Please refer to the laws of your country before placing an order. I will work with you to ensure any requirements, paperwork, etc are completed and available if needed.
