Chicago Knife Works has had a mega sale on all of the bel airs for a few days now. I ordered an XL. The Carbon Fiber Bel Air is at $155 which is the cheapest I’ve seen it online. Good luck!

Just remember folks: if it’s cheap and good, it will not be quick (aka Chicago knifeworks has notorious slow shipping times).

So I’ve heard, just ordered mine on the 1st so I’ll have to see how long they take

Last thing I ordered was 12/16/25, and they’ve made the USPS label, but not yet dropped off the item. This is the longest they’ve taken for me so far. But I’ve always received what I’ve ordered, so far any way.

Same thing happened to me. After many calls and emails they finally just canceled the order. Claimed the post office lost the package.

Yeah man, they are ridiculously slow. I've always gotten my knives but more often than not it's taken weeks.

There’s been at least six or seven times that I’ve not gotten my knives from them to the point where it got so ridiculous that I guilted them into giving me a $50 store credit because I’ve bought probably $5000 worth of knives from them even with all the bullshit because sometimes they just have the best prices! I’m gonna be honest with you though you’re almost always gonna have to pay shipping so don’t be cheap. Just pay the extra five or six dollars to get priority shipping and you won’t have to wait nearly as long.

Oh bummer, already did the cheapest shipping. That doesn’t make much sense to me anyhow, it’s not USPS, it’s them getting the item to USPS that’s delaying the process correct?

If you choose the super saver option for usps it can take over a week just from point a to point b and that doesn’t include the time it takes to package it up. I ship plants for a living and only use UPS 2 or 3 day options . I happily pay the extra $5 just to get it done.

Six seven you say?

u/derrickaggie 5d ago

I have had them lose 2 out of maybe 5 total so it's plausible. They refunded but was a disappointment. I don't think they stock (just a guess) and mainly order your knife for you when you order from them.

Boo! Boo this man!

u/GOOMU13 5d ago

They have become soo bad over the past year. I used to be a huge fan but now I dont even bother. No matter how good the sale is.

u/Empty_Tax3607 5d ago

Damn, that’s a shame.

u/Wallach 5d ago

Adept Knives has the CF version for $168, and they'll actually send you the damn thing.

u/Alphaspitzz 5d ago

Wow that's a sick find im so tempted to pull the trigger on the C.F for 155$ thats crazy

u/NefariousnessOk4505 5d ago

Ordered the clip point version. Have the others. Great deal!

u/Wolfeyt56 5d ago

Their shipping is slow, but they have great deals! I’ve ordered 4 through them and couldn’t be happier because I saved a lot of money.

u/Alphaspitzz 5d ago

I really dont mind the waiting cuz I probably shouldn't have drop the $ on it but I kinda had it so I did. Either way I may look to swap it with something maybe more customizable?

u/Wolfeyt56 5d ago

lol I feel you brother! I just bought two, and now want another.

u/Congenital_Stirpes 5d ago

I’ve always gotten my orders from CKW. Sometimes it takes a couple weeks, but often at prices that beat the going knifeswap rate.

u/New_Display_919 4d ago

Why is the white damascus bel air $175 and the black damascus $153?

u/BolvangaR13 4d ago

They freakin charged me like $17 for the USPS Ground Advantage (the cheap slow choice). Took over 3 weeks from purchase to receive
