    I think Dovo has been getting away from the stamping and going to the etching for awhile. I get them in where one box will be stamped and the other etched......

    Chinese......lmao, I thought you were gonna say you thought it might be a tamahagane

    I have also noticed a little difference in the blade washes too.

    They still hone up and shave the same though.

    Have fun,

    Lynn

    Just ride your unicorn to the end of the rainbow. There will be a clearing with a small lake. If you are worthy of such steel, the lady of the lake will emerge and present it to you.

    From what I understand, the steel is smelted by dwarves deep in the earth and is different from other metals on a sub-atomic level.

    They don't look like the same size or model to me. Saying they are 5/8 Dovo roundpoints seems kinda vague. Doesn't Dovo have like 42 models of 5/8 roundpoints?

    Why does one look dramatically thinner than the other? Is that the 4/8 version of the 5/8?
