    4-6 weeks on most of my purchases from the swamp.

    When I ordered the R9 that is now in route to me they said 3 to 5 weeks and it was right at the 5 weeks.It was ordered with G10 so that may have added some time to it.

    You know I'm dying to say "Two Weeks."

    Honestly, it all depends on where they are in the production schedule. Sorry I can't be of more help.

    I'm having A RMD made for me. I think it's been about 3-4 weeks. You can't rush the ultimate. Give them time. The oxen are slow but the earth is patient.

    How long of a wait for a Rodent 4? Well, I will be at 2 months next week and they still haven't sent it out yet. Over two weeks ago I got a reply to an e-mail I sent asking how much longer it will be and was told they would be sending it out next week. My custom sheath by Mr Law is on the way, he was kind enough to send me a USPS Tracking number. My friend tells me that when I get it I will be pleased and I am sure that is true but I would have appreciated a more realistic time estimate from the company. As it is my wife and I are planning a big trip in the first of August which will be outdoors focused to Banff, and the Okanagan Valley and I was really hoping to have it with me for the trip. As it is I am not sure because once they actually do send it, Canada Customs has to inspect it before I can get it. Sorry, but I am feeling a bit disappointed right now- I guess there is still time, but it is running out.

    I just past the fourth week if that helps. I think they were busy with Blade and now will be catching up.

    Well, for my part I would appreciate an accurate and honest projection of when a product can be expected. At least to be sent out. There have been several possible 'reasons' that friends have suggested and that I can imagine but these are just shadows, they are easily illuminated with a little honest communication from the proper source. It is that which is lacking and that which would have been so easily resolved early on.

    Put more simply, the company should state at the time of order an actual or honest and accurate time they expect to send their product out. Of course they can not actually project how long it will take the postal service to, 'do their thing', but that is understandable. They should at least have some idea of how long their job will take and should be open in sharing that information with a customer rather than ignoring the customer's request. The customer is obviously an admirer of their work and is willing to offer money in exchange for the item manufactured by the company. To put that more simply it is a matter of mutual respect in the way we treat others and in the way we expect ourselves to be treated, you know- do unto others. That is all.

    Sounded too good. I ordered mine the 2nd day and have not heard anything. I sent an email a while back and got no response. Oh well, it will get here.
