I think if you guys were to check out their website you would find that their knives are made more for the battlefield and not for the guy that wants a $400 letter opener! Read all the mail theyve gotten from our troops raving about their knives! On another note, I am going to be sending one of my Dua s off to the Richard J Spa to have a more traditional edge put on it! Then I can compare them! No novelty edge but one that will cut and still shave hair and most importantly last!! As I have discussed with Richard J we will post some before and after pics! Richard really seems like a great, honest, stand up kind of guy that really knows what hes talking about!! Cant wait to see what he does with his magic paper wheels!!!
