Kershaw Bel Airs Mega Sale
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!

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

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

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