UNITED KINGDOM CUSTOMS RECENT RESTRICTIONS ON SWORDS

The sword you order is ship directly from our workshop in Longquan, China 中國 龍泉.

We made each sword on order, once a sword is in the production process, the order cannot be changed.

LK CHEN SWORD DOES NOT CHARGE FOR SHIPPING, THE CARRIER DOES.  

Please note that UPS and SF Express charge fees for their delivery service from China to you, we just collect the carriers fee on their behalf.  We provide packaging and handling service at a nominal five dollars fee per sword.

We craft each sword by hand, it  takes about 20 steps to transform a peg of steel to the sword and the process takes about a few weeks.  Sometimes we might have a number of sharp version of our popular swords near completion or in stock. If in stock,  we expeditiously ship your swords in a couple of days.

For swords that we recently introduce, the first batch might take a bit more time upon order to be fulfilled.

Special Note on shipment of Han Sha.

The Han Sha after secure packaging is closed to 250 cm (8 feet) and UPS charges over $300 for shipment.  

We now offer the Han Sha to be ship world wide un-assembled, the package is still close to 1.6 meter long but the shipping will be similar to other double hand weapon.  We discontinue the sea route for now due to long delays and find air shipment the only viable option. 

For expeditious shipping, we use SF-Express for US shipment and UPS to the rest of the world.

EDGED WEAPONS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF NOT HANDLE PROPERLY.  

Safety MUST ALWAYS be the prime consideration of anyone who handles dangerous weapons. Always handle your weapon with full concentration towards safety,  and with respect.  Make sure all bystanders are a safe distance away from you and the maximum extended reach or your weapon when the blade is unsheathed. 

BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU FIRST RECEIVE YOUR SWORD

ALWAYS HOLD THE SWORD IN SCABBARD WITH HILT FACING UP AND UNSHEATHE YOUR SWORD CAREFULLY WITH HILT FACING UP AND BLADE FACING AWAY FROM YOU.  

Due to differences in humidity (especially in winter months) between Longquan and the final designation, the scabbard might not maintain the same factory tight fit.  Gravity will pull the sword out of the scabbard if you hold the scabbard with the sword hilt facing down, causing injury to yourself and others. You can always adjust the scabbard tightness after giving the scabbard time to settle to your local condition.
