The Great Kit Vendor List!!!

I find http://www.army-surplus.org.uk to be the cheapest one around in the UK.

I dont know whether this directly belongs in here or not, but if your looking for hardware, also replace buckles and stuff like that, along with cordura and generally stuff to mod,or make tactical gear, www.diytactical.com is an excellent place to go.
Thy will sell on a yard basis.
Now they may be missing alot of the inventory, but they will ship worldwide, and they are also very fast to handle your order.Usually I have a order processed email within 12 hours or order for items in stock.
Also have a great forum with modding info etc. Definately worth a look, many gear makers are members there, along with our polar tactical member from here

Shonky dealer:

Law Enforcement Gear Australia and New Zealand.

I ordered and paid for equipment after confirming it was currently available. Folow-up with the company revealed there was a supply 'issue'. Funnily enough I have not received the promised telephone call from the company or data as to my delivery. The website has a order tracking facility, my order was tracked...no data available.

I also had problems with this dealer.Would not communicate re: out of stock order. 2papadelta.

Oh dear. Are there any other Blackhawk suppliers to Australia and New Zealand? I can't even find prices on the re-vamped Blackhawk website.

[Arik23]

Blackhawk is not very good, being made in Vietnam. Most US soldiers are not using it for many problems. It is a cadet product at best.

I want to pay tribute to three EBay sellers who have given me excellent service and proven themselves honest. It should be easy for anyone to find these sellers from EBay by themselves. This is not an advertisement and I hope that the mods will not remove this post, because there are too many cheats and liars and thieves on the internet, and the dealers that are honest deserve respect and we as buyers also benefit when we know that we can trust someone. So then, here comes three dealers on EBay that I respect:

123khaly - knives, zippos, glasses, watches etc.
Knifedepot - knives, multitools, sharpeners, lights, holsters etc.
jpfarm4 - natural Arkansas stones (lovely for sharpening anything).

These sellers are all based in USA and I bought items from them from Finland via EBay.

I would like to add myself for UK sales....

jpfarm4 - natural Arkansas stones (lovely for sharpening anything).

It seems that jpfarm4 are working under a different name now, for whatever reason. The dealer name seems to be kfoxstore71, and the shop name is "Arkansas sharpening stones".

Arkansas stones are interesting because they are natural. They need to be covered in oil so that the fine metal particles from the blade don't sink into the stone; I imagine that in the military, gun oil would be perfect.

I will just mention www.varusteleka.fi from Finland. They sell army surplus, so expect mostly used stuff. But they are the best value for money here. Anyone coming from other countries (Baltic countries, Russia, Sweden) can visit their store in Helsinki, they are open every day.
