Dovo 5/8 for $49.97
I am sure this is not a site members frequent when looking for razors but I ran across it an they have what appears to be factory edge Dovo Best Quality on Sale for $49.97.
Dovo Yellow Synthetic Straight Razor Folding Knife - BUDK
I think this is in the right place. If not please move.Last edited by TeMpTiN; 10-31-2010 at 02:47 PM. Reason: Note to Mods

So I can pay $49.99 for a razor of dubious manufacture, from a bargain sales company I have never heard from that knows so little about razors their description of this one is worse than most eBay sellers, AND then add on $35 to have it shipped to me, shipped to a hone guy, shipped back to me? Or, I suppose I could save the $35 by buying a $300 set of hones to sharpen it myself.
Or I could buy it from a reputable vendor and get a genuine DOVO Best Quality for around $75 honed, shipped.
Nah. I'll buy the BudK one.

Dovo is German, that's the only association. Originally Posted by Shoki

Then you still need to ship to get honed and pay the price to get it honed. That would be about another $20 or $30 added to the $59.96. That would be around $79 or $89 dollars. For around the same price you can get one professionally honed and from a trusted source.Last edited by Str8nDE4RAD; 10-31-2010 at 06:33 PM.

If you can hone your own, that's a nice discount. Shipping to me is $10, so that's $60. SRD is $85 to my door.
But, as above, if I couldn't, it wouldn't be worth in.

I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole . A "straight razor folding knife" ??? What is it , straight razor or a folding knife ? Chinese imitation Dovo , perhaps ?

The picture makes it look legit but the picture can also just be a standard picture used in most websites and not the actual razor.
It looks iffy to me so be careful.

Are there actually Chinese imitations of Dovo's that look legit? I am genuinely curious, but have never seen one. Originally Posted by dave5225

You could have it sent directly to your favorite honemeister and therefore the cost would be $50 for the razor, $10 for the shipping, and $20 for the honing and return mailing. $80 would be about the minimum total cost.
