unitedcutleryuk I couldn't find. unitedcutleryknivesuk I could ~ http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=117843 and http://www.unitedcutleryknives.co.uk (do a FULL search on bronzemoonoutdoors 
)
unitedcutlery . com also comes up in searches.

While I'm perfectly happy carrying a locking blade or a longish fixed blade around (including a sickle), I would not want to be stopped while carrying a Honshu Karambit. Can't imagine that thing not resulting in being charged (and probably found guilty).
That site is going to get itself and anyone daft enough to buy from them into a lot of trouble - on the Honshu page they are advertising items that it is illegal to import into or sell in the UK, namely push daggers. Have'nt had time to look through the rest of it but that's not a good start!

Dodgy post, illegal knives from a site that almost only stocks weapons, (yeah, I know a screwdriver can be a weapon). There can be no good reason to own a Karambit, it is purely a weapon, and nothing to do with wood working/bushcrafting. If the o/p wants one, let him find it himself.
*some* Karambits can be general purpose tools, but they don't look like that mall ninja crap. More like a pruning knife with a point.
Personally, I hate to think what materials he wants to test the Karambit on. (check his outdoor activity). But then to remove the thread, smacks of censorship. I would let it run it's course, and hopefully end soon.
Leave it to run its course.
There's no fighting, flaming or attempts to cause irk(s) ~ and anyone searching on either unitedcutleryknives or bronzemoonoutdoors might gain valuable insights

I bought a standard folding knife from Bronzemoon around Oct last year. After 2 months of emails/calls all of which were not answered (I actually treated it like a hobby to be honest), they failed to deliver so I wrote a formal letter (you can download the template from the gov.uk site) to their head office (which had the wrong address on their website by the way) citing a CCJ if they didn't return my money. I involved the bank (its was only circa £40 but it was more the principal). The bank reimbursed me and presume they followed up with BronzeMoon. Either way I got my money back and wouldn't touch this company again with a bargepole.
There are some seriously tacky bladed items for sale on that website, about the only UK legal things they sell are paracord bracelets, friggin ninja stars and elfen daggers and worse, not a bushcraft worthy blade on the whole site i was amazed i never found a sharpened Klingon Bat'leth or Kut'luch
Don't be to hard. Many of us wanted/bought strange/not so useful blades when we were young, but ended up as normal men and women after all.

I never bought a Rambo knife ever but if i'd had the cash when i was 12 i probably would have, the only knife of shame i have ever bought was a 17 inch bowie knife twenty+ years ago inspired by the movie Crocodile Dundee that still hasn't been used, i shared the shame of this a couple of weeks back in a thread on bcuk.
12 year old me would have probably had a few ninja stars too given half a chance, thank god i only got 50p pocket money each week and my paper round only paid £3.50 a week and most of that went on smokes and cider

I was watching this thread as I womdered if it was an advert.
Any research I've done into Bronzemoon in the past has only turned up negative comments and tales of malpractice and litigation. I say leave it as a warning to others and hopefully a positive learning curve for the OP.
If you read back the literature of when Bushcraft was still cried Survivalism in the UK the magazines were flooded with what can only be described as cheap nasty "weapons". But like the folk involved the practice of living outdoors has grown up.

Absolutely spot on chaps
Anyone remember knife reviews in "combat & survival" where the chap might say things like, he dislikes a saw back knife because of the possibility of it getting snagged when withdrawing from a stab into someones chest (if one day he was forced to use it as a weapon)
Similar knives to Kerambit but not mall ninja tat
