I've had similar results from the USPS on a few recent orders from Amazon in the last couple months. It's no wonder some want mail in ballots for everyone.

I'm glad you got it, Sidro. I don't understand why DHL didn't ultimately deliver it, but whatever. Maybe you just live in a rural area outside their delivery zone. Anyhow, I did notice as of late, USPS has been dropping the ball like crazy. FedEx does their part by moving the priority/express mail through their system, but USPS will invariably screw it up upon handling the parcel. UPS isn't much better either with frequent late deliveries. At this point, DHL and FedEx are the only carriers I still trust with package handling and timely delivery

To answer your question, C-dub, I got the horn handle. It feels really nice in the hand. It is definitely as slippery as you'd imagine a horn or stag handle to be, but the flared pommel keeps the knife in my hand very well.

That makes me feel lucky. On Monday, it was in Kathmandu, Tuesday in Dubai. Wednesday in Leipzig, Thursday in NYC, and Friday on my doorstep after making a brief stop in Cincinnati. Total of 4 days in transit. DHL handled the delivery all the way to the last mile. @Sidro, you should try calling up DHL to see what's going on.

Thanks again for the show and tell. It was well worth the money.

Look what got delivered today! The quality is fantastic. It was really worth the wait.

Hopefully it takes a long time for yours to arrive. That way, you can fill the void by buying other knives before it arrives. It'll make me feel better if I'm not the only one doing that.

May be an ignorant question, but let’s say that a friend wanted to see where he could carry this beast under the the carry laws in TX, what would you advise?

IANAL... But since the knife blade is > 5.5", it is a location restricted knife, which means it carries the same location restrictions as your sidearm.
30.06 and 30.07 do not apply, though, as that only refers to firearms.

Dang... Three months. Well, that's how long I'll be waiting for mine. I put my order in a couple days ago for the 10.25" version. Fortunately, I'm not exactly in a rush for it. It's not like I don't have a whole bunch of other knives.
