Double Arrow Quality ?????
OK guys we have been buying into the notion that these are OK, and hey I have honed a couple dozen and they are OK, not great, not even good, but they do give a passable shave, and for the price??? wow!!! what a deal ... I bought into that, until today... This is what I found after having some fitting problems on scales.... Hey I by no means think that I am perfect but I have made a few sets of scales, OK a few hundred sets, and every now and then you do find a warped tang/spine and you actually question your own ability to cut a piece of wood straight :)
Here is what I found on just checking 4 DA's against a known flat surface, I am holding the tang flat against the brass with my thumb look at not only the deflection away from the brass but also the curvature in the grind.... 1 out of 4 is pretty straight....
Pic #1 is OK then look as they get worse #3 and #4 are way way off
