Slice, greetings.

There seems to be more controversy about this material and process than seems justified. The experienced guys tend to say its fine material and no - its not particularly more difficult to hone. That has been my experience also.

'Don't know what blade you got into - I overpaid for a Dovo stainless micarta. I'm underwhelmed with the value - most of which was my own ignorance as to what it should cost. I will say it gives very good shaves and would not hesitate to recommend them at a more reasonable cost.

So - what did you get?

If you're on the left coast Portland and want to talk or compare notes or work on honing, pm me.
