Hello all!
First of all, I'd like your money, please. To make it easier for you to give it to me, I'll hand out a discount code as part of my first promotional post here. With the discount code BUSHCRAFTUK you get 10% off everything! The code is valid until 11th march 2016. You give it at the checkout page. Our international shipping rates are very reasonable - shipping to UK, for an example, is £6.13. We're kind of hoping to triple in size with international sales.
We're one of the bigger surplus shops - we made a 8,4 million euro turnover last year - and we're freakishly popular in Finland, since we haven't tidied our way of doing things despite our growth. The size brings it's good sides - we've had the money to put our logistics very neat, and our shipping is very fast - we usually dispatch packages the same day, if the order has been made before our shift ends.
We have our humour, but don't be put off by it - a side effect is that if we get something that's not very good, rather than still praise it to the heavens, we make fun of it. You don't see us telling many good words about Polish or Italian military items...
We heard there are some 200 army shops in the UK, so I'm not here to sell you guys CS95. Rather, we've got some interesting stuff that's not found anywhere else.
Enter our own knife production (which we can't advertise in Google or Facebook, because there are dangerous killer weapons):
Terävä Skrama - our own Very Big Knife.
Skrama is a big bush knife. We originally sold Finnish Hukari knives, but the makers never could make enough of them. Instead of copying Hukari, we decided to do something different and better. Skrama is what came out of it: a very, very sharp full tang carbon steel blade, good for chopping, but also for more delicate work. If you have to survive with one knife, this would be it.
We made a youtube video in which Stefan, the man who designed Skrama, shows how manly you can be with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxbNupxUygM
Terävä Jääkäripuukko - our take on the traditional Finnish puukko.
This was also kind of a result of us not getting as many sissipuukkos as we were able to sell. Not a direct copy, rather a different approach on what a modern military puukko should be. Full tang with molded rubber handle, traditional puukko blade and a high quality leather sheath. Traditional wood handled puukkos are very cool and we like (and sell) them too. Full tang and rubber handle is more practical - it won't slip as easily, and will practically never break or need servicing.
Both blades are really high quality, and they & their sheats are 100% made in Finland. Our price is low because they skip the usual commercialization progress - we design them with the factory and then sell them directly to the consumer.
We're in the works of making a hunters' version of the jääkäripuukko - teflon coated blade with shape more designed to work with animals - but for that and other new knife items we can't promise any delivery date, since the manufacturers are small and have enough trouble to make enough of our normal lineup.
Other good items: Finnish surplus!

This is surprisingly hard to get, but I bet we still have it more than other surplus shops
The link above is a good example, legendary Finnish army M62 uniform goes for around £11. It's not fancy, but it's tough as hell, and at least it's different...
We're also near the Russian border, and have a steady supply of Russian items smuggled in. Literally smuggled, as the russians consider any camouflage item as secret military technology which can't cross the border. We have, for an example, a good stock of Gorkas, now with also Multicam - a source of a laugh or two: http://www.varusteleka.com/en/bestsearch/gorka?q=gorka
We have keen interest on bushcraft ourselves, and I'll come up with other interesting things when I get the inspiration on what to show you guys. For now, go shopping and use the discount, thanks
