TBF, there's not really too much they can do about it
I do know that can’t do much about it, but you know how it feel when something is so close but still so far from you...

Yeah... I feel you, checking on the tracking number every 10 minutes hoping to see changes in status

At least you're not down here in Vic, all our stuff is going to you or QLD to get sorted, so everything is taking FOREVER to go even short distances (just took 11 days to get a package 15km, although it ended up travelling about 2200km for the trip

I ordered a Jiro from Paul at Pro Tooling - took 4 months to get to me. Aus post.

Personally, I like to spend extra for DHL. My knife via Singapore Post took 4 months to US, tracking was nonexistent.

I just picked up a Nigara hamono "Anmon" Damascus 300mm Sakimaru Takohiki. First Nigara blade, great weight, and wicked sharp.

yup - same
I called Paul and told him I would have been happy to pay more dornDHL. So he shipped me a second Jiro at cost with DHL so I got two for price of 1.5 - he was very helpful, error on Aus post due to Covid

I like the wood on that handle. Is it Lacewood? Beeswing Narra?

Those nigara blades are good lookers man. Gyutos are a little too lasery for me though.

This is my first single edge knife, so we'll see how much actual use it gets. Couldn't pass it up at the price though.

Nice man. Congratulations. Thing is gorgeous!
I got a double today.
Birgersson Blades # 18 and @HSC /// Knives with @Dave Martell handle.

Definitely a cool way to start. And you clearly are using it for its on-label purpose too.
HSC III / Martell Looks very good and the choil is insane.
Thanks, I have been waiting on this one a while and am excited to get to use it. It is 26C3 and I am excited to try as well.

ShigeWOWSER!!! 
Vintage Watanabe 270 from Stefan's collection:
This knife is *huge* and I love it. It's nice and thick at the spine and has a lovely smooth grind down to a screaming sharp edge courtesy of @Dave Martell. The tip is plenty thin for a workhorse and had no trouble sliding horizontally through my onions.
The cladding is quite reactive--it was clean when I got it, and it's pictured here after cutting up a few onions for a braise. Core steel is unknown, but Watanabe knows what he's doing so I'm not too worried

Tosa funayuki (approx 140mm)
Yea yea, not anything to brag about but I love it. Thinned it and now its a great mini workhorse.
It came w a ho wood/plastic ferrule so I got a handle from eastasiaknifeimports on IG. Man, it gives this little guy some pop! Just wanna show love to him for the beautiful work done on this handle. Eucalyptus burl and ebony.

Don't sweat it, plenty of guys would kill to brag about 140mm... but more seriously, that's an underrated knife size, very nice.
A Yoshikane SKD 210 K-tip from Epic Edge. Incredibly fast shipping from Washington state! Only ordered it on Saturday.
Can't wait to try it out. I can finally walk again after my surgery and will be in cooking shape in no time!
