I think in your situation, you really need to focus on the thing Massdrop does best.
That's the series of collaborations with WE, Reate (unconfirmed but true), and Millitt. Those knives are excellent and worth the process for you, while a $40 production knife in 12C27 is probably not an interesting enough or unique enough item to warrant using an atypical American retailer like Massdrop.
I think my Thorn is awesome, but if I had to deal with customs and paying nearly the same price just to get it through customs, eh, I dunno, I'd probably try to find a domestic retailer. That might be tricky in the UK I guess.

OmniseedYou can get a Bestech in D2 for about the same price from other various retailers, which is a much better blade steel.

trailblazzrD2 is definitely a much better blade material however the blade tip is too thin for my liking and I work in a Boatyard and spend a lot of my time by the water.

trailblazzrThat depends. D2 rusts faster. It will keep the edge longer but is more a pain to sharpen and can chip also. Sandvik steels do the job. That said the reason I jumped on the Thorn is it was the right size for EDC where I work but still useful and was on sale for $34. For $52 I’ll take a Paladin. I love my Mora.

Great knife though, first knife from bestech and I'm super happy with the quality.
Massdrop has also been fun and flawless, I look forward to their EU depot ;)
