Your not saying anything contrary to me. They are good, I just don't think they are top shelf knives. I don't trust the imports though.

Could this be a resurgence of the Double Arrow under a different name????

As I understand it, they make knives that span the whole quality spectrum depending on what you'll pay. Judging by the price of some of their fixed blades, this may be the bottom of the barrel for them.

I am embarrassed to admit that I bought one, and it looks like junk. No country of origin is stamped, but it looks Pakistani. The box was already falling apart, although brand new. I don't yet have the courage to attempt honing it. If I do, I will report the results of the honing and shave test.
