I don't think so - I have several and while they will chip if overhoned or honed with too much pressure or torque (particularly on Shaptons), I have never had an issue with chipping. My Fili Inox... now that chips.

Compared to other mass-produced modern razors, I think they have the best grind consistency and quality - I've never run into one that was unhonable... I have several Dovos that have very bad geometry straight from the factory.
