Does anyone know how long it takes to get a sword from hanbon forge to the USA. Utah specifically.

I always received Hanbon purchases here in Florida within two weeks after they were shipped (EMS tracking number created).
On one occasion, Hanbon didn't even ship my sword within the projected delivery window. I emailed Mr. Yao, who blamed the monsoon but got it shipped pretty quickly. He provided good communication throughout.

finally today just got the best tracking update. YOUR PACKAGE HAS CLEARED U.S. CUSTOMS AND IS IN ROUTE TO DESTINATION. wow what a feeling I almost think waiting for a sword is half the fun.

I am not a fan of waiting, but then, In Japan of ancient times, you would wait for months for a sword. This was without shipping. For those who order true customs (specific blade length and hamon style), their waits can be months-long today. Which of Hanbon's swords did you order? I have one of his which turned out really nice.

I get your point i finally pulled the trigger and finally ordered a custom katana from hanbon I received pictures from them of the final product , and I have no tracking number was sent according to YAO 3 days ago, I know its not realistic to expect it this week but would be nice to know approximate delivery times, its my first sword so I am as anxious AF..lol Seriously cannot wait and will post pics here as soon as I get , I will actually do a youtube review around mid December.
