A quick note for anyone who has noticed the shipping timeframe - I want to emphasize that the delay in shipping is NOT within Gavin’s control. Unfortunately it’s just one of the realities of working with an international maker, particularly apparently one working in South Africa. It’s been a bit frustrating, but since it’s out of his hands and sounds like he’s doing his best to utilize the most efficient method available to him, I can’t let it reflect on his part of the process. So far it’s been the only remotely negative aspect of working with him, but patience is a virtue and to paraphrase an old saying, fantastic knives come to those who wait
