Thread: Beginner purchase (suggestions and criticism needed):

One thing I was wondering; are the brand marks in the new dovos shanks/tangs etched or stamped in?

Edit: Never mind, I found my ansver. "There's a Dovo lasering at the tang's 'show' side and "Solingen Germany" on the rear...no laser etching on the spine this time 'round as some of the lucky owners of the first run complained they'd worn it off during normal honing."

I do for some reason love the Böker razor's stamped brand marks.
