Varusteleka - the strange surplus shop from Finland

One of my favourite shops!
Been buying from them the last 3 maybe 4 years I believe. Super fast deliveries.
Love their own brand knives.
Good prices and honest descriptions on a lot of stuff!

Perhaps before that actually! I remember when they first introduced the skrama, i bought one of the very early production runs.
It came so sharp out of the box, I brushed past some clothes hung up by my brother as i left his room (showing him my new knife) when i lived at home.
Ended up with two pairs of jeans on the end of the blade as i walked through the door. Wouldnt have noticed if it didnt feel heavier. Went through multiple layers of denim like hot knife through butter

This site is absolutely mental. Then again, I never met a Finn who wasn't...in a good way..probably.
The Finnish surplus stuff is a lot more pricey but looks fantastic. I do wish there was more stuff in all-natural fibres in the non-militaristic/own brand ranges.
Also, the discount doesn't work any more after four years. How about a new one, @Varusteleka?!

You should visit their shop, how many surplus shops have their own bar? Usually with something like 120 different beers ...

Varusteleka - Military and outdoors specialists
Varusteleka is one of the largest tactical gear and military surplus stores in Europe. Fast worldwide shipping from Finland.

Assume that you'll have to pay 20% VAT when it gets to the UK and then import duty as well if it's over £135. Plus whatever handling fee the carrier adds for doing the paperwork, usually £8-12.
That way you will be pleasantly surprised if you don't have to pay up.
Just had a shirt delivered from them. Was just as easy as before, just have to factor in the dreaded VAT. So glad as they have so much cool stuff and their own brand stuff is fab.
All the EU traders are in the same boat and its out of their hands
how can anyone prepare when noone was telling us the rules
Those in charge in the EU are making it their job to punish us all
Varusteleka kicks bottom! Fast shipping and good quality stuff. Have had many orders in the past 6 months or so. Awesome online shop. Always looking for great surplus stuff for outdoors and camping hunting. Cheers!
Why should they prepare for something we decided to do. Plenty of EU companies just won't deal with us at the minute as it's too much hassle.

Sadly they won't ship to the UK at all now.
Glad I got my jerven when I did (Christmas of 2020).
