Is there a delay with drake knives

[Ecca]

I recently ordered a couple of drake knives (29th March), received a confirmation email but since then haven’t heard anything. Is this normal, how long does shipping generally take?

p.s . I am shipping to the uk if this makes a difference.

Might want to ask them or the supplier. I'm i the US and have ordered Drake knives and they were quickly shipped.

I’ve tried to contact them through the email I received twice now but had no response, should I be worried?

[Ecca]

Nevermind, just seen that their website is closed and a message saying they’re 4-5 weeks behind on orders

Just shows you have good judgement

In the meantime, carve some handles that you like that fit your hands.
Repurpose some nice little bits of other steel knife blades.
Quite satisfying to carve with tools you build up yourself.
