Ordering/Shipping Info

Thanks for supporting my blacksmithing/knifemaking adventure here at Water Oak Forge! Refer to the following information concerning order processing and shipping so you know what to expect when placing or checking the status of your order.

Order Processing

All products are handmade one at a time in my shop and are currently "Made To Order" and will ship in 2-4 weeks depending on the availability of materials and work load. My backlog rarely exceeds 30 days, but if you are in a rush to get your order, please email me.

 - Made to Order Tools and Hammers are processed and shipped in 3-4 weeks, please see the item description for more information concerning lead times. 

**Orders are not processed on or during holidays so please be away that ordering on/during those dates may incur additional lead times. Especially around a Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years**

 - Custom Cutlery carries a lead time that varies, but customers can expect a 30-60 day lead time on custom knife orders.

Please note leading up to holidays, I try to process orders more often, but with heavy order volumes, processing times may increase, customers will be notified via email of any delay in the processing of their order.
