Thanks for the kind words, John. If you like Vipers, I just posted a Snakewood in the Trade forum.

Both of my new ones arrived today!
I'll have to see about a photo shoot tomorrow. Loving the Green River bone on my scout. Reminds me of a deep dark pine grove.

Thanks again Dickens!

I have a Cuban 53 on the way and it should be here hours from now!
My name is Charlie and I'm new to this forum. I'm also new to this knife manufacturer. This is my FIRST knife from these makers and I'm so excited! I recently heard of them through some case collectors and I watched a few YouTube vids that pushed me over the edge! Here I am!

Pagant, welcome to AAPK !
Do you live in USA ? If so 2 weeks is way overdue for a USPS delivery. I frequently receive a small packet containing a knife that was mailed only 48 hours previously. Occasionally an item does get 'lost' in the USPS system. Tracking shows nothing for many days or even a few weeks and then the package shows up delivered to your place.
However after 2 weeks i would contact the seller with a view to getting a refund. I have been a buyer in this situation at least twice and was issued a refund and then months later the item was delivered. I then contacted the seller and paid again.
Keep us posted please.

Thanks for the advice kj, I have just now sent off an Email to the vendor , as i am in England i am used to packages taking seven to ten days average sometimes it is longer but usually that is because our Customs are holding it up. So it is fingers crossed time. ::facepalm::
