You could of you know listed the site so we could tell you if we had been there.

Simply put, the answer is No
There is no way to tell if a website is reliable or not, even if they use encryption ("https" instead of "http") and have a valid certificate, does not make them reliable.

If you really want what they are selling but dont entirely trust them, see if they use PayPal as a payment option, that way they do not recieve any CC info, and if you do not get what you ardered youcan didpute it thru PayPal and you CC company and get the charges reversed.

More than likely you will get what you order.

One thing to check before you place you order if you are nervous about ordering from them.

Do they have a "Contact Us" link?

If so then see if they have a phone number listed. Call the number to see if it is answered by that company. Ask about there online ordering policy, any
refund or return policies. Get the name of the person you spoke with. There is no shame in speaking with these people if you are uneasy about them.
Also check to see if they have an Address listed , be sure to write it down.

Do a "Who Is" search of the domain name to get any info possible about who owns the site. http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/index.jsp

Vash is right if we are familar with it and have experainced it and used it we could recomend it.

Fish is right in never give your credit card out. Pay Pal is solid.

HTTP " S " and the padlock should tell you if the site is protected.

haha jk its a knife set i've been dying to buy for a while. It has a tempered carbon steel blade, a genuine leather sheath, full tang, wood & antler handle, and i can get a small custom engraving on it. basically my dream knife, even though the blade is just an inch or two shorter than i want, its definitely worth it for the price

I would say you would be fine in ordering from them. Just use PayPal to purchase your order.
