+1 on what has been said here. the scales absolutely suck... one pair actually fell off the first time i opened the razor. the blades, with work, are good shavers.

my pair both smiled a bit too much for my taste so i evened 'em out a bit on a dmt325, but that's a personal preference thing. i had to do serious bevel setting work on both, and then not much polishing on one. they are a solid 7/8 and about a half hollow grind.

they seem to require stropping more often than some of my stainless dovos, but that could be the carbon steel. they rust very easily, i had to put militec1 on mine to keep 'em from rusting.
