Thread: New DOVO ... Now what?

Regardless, I think you made a good purchase ....providing there's nothing hidden.

Try it, and...well, hone it if necessary.

Maybe isn't new but for 40 bucks I can't complain. I am not sure if all of them come with a small smile at the tip. What do you think I should do.

P.S no chips or cracks
