Custom Knife Orders
I currently have a waiting period for knives of almost 4 years, so I need to stop taking orders for knives for the time being, as I just can't offer a relatively accurate time for delivery anymore or put a price on my work and materials with that advance.

I've been thinking a lot about this and I believe it's the right thing to do at this time. I honestly can't believe that I have that much of a waiting time myself, I used to read about makers with a 5 years waiting time and think "whoa, that's crazy!" and now I realize it's not that crazy after all.

This will also give me more free time to come up with new materials and designs and techniques. I love to do "my own stuff" and I have had this area neglected for a long time. Be prepared to be surprised with lots of new things I have in mind!

What does this mean in terms of my current work and forums involvement? Nothing really.

All current orders will be fullfilled, I'm not retiring or anything like that, just stop taking orders for a while until I shorten the waiting time a bit. Once that gets accomplished, I will resume the order taking again.

I will continue to post finished pieces and tutorials on the forums as usual, and I still take orders for Jewelry, EDC Tools and Lanyard Beads. Current waiting time on those ranges from a couple months to a year, depending on the item in question.

And since I will have more free time, I expect to put more available knives of my design for sale on the forums and on the Available section here on my website.

I hope you understand and agree with this decision.

Accepted Payments
I prefer payments via PayPal. Just contact me for the proper address.
Cashier/Bank Checks, Money Orders and Money Transfers from Western Union are also accepted.
Shipping
All knife orders are shipped on Fridays upon receiving payment. Shipping charges are based on weight and final destination of shipment and are already covered on the prices stated on the Available section.

Except otherwise noted, I use DHL to ship knives (ETA is 3-6 working days, depending on your location) I will send you the tracking number of your order most likely on Mondays, so you can check status on the delivery process.

Small Jewelry items, EDC Tools and Lanyard Beads are shipped Registered Airmail (ETA is 10 working days) using the Argentina Post Office.

In the unlikely eventuality that a package gets lost, you will get the chance of having your money immediately refunded or getting a similar piece made with no waiting period. I might be far away from my customers, but I always take care of them.
Warranty
My warranty is very simple, if you don't abuse your knife, you ship it to me and I'll take care of it for as long as I'm able to work.

All you have to do is pay shipping both ways.

If it's damage due to abuse, I'll asses it and try to fix it anyway, charging a small fee if it's much work involved.
