• £299 ≈ $380 vs $415-425 US — a real but modest ~10% saving; bigger if you catch UK retailer promos
• Still made in South Shields, England — royal-warrant heritage is the draw
• Wax finish has a smell and needs annual re-waxing (~£30 service or DIY tin); not for everyone
• Not meaningfully available in India — hand-carry is the only sensible route
