Daovua Leaf Spring 240 Video
Check this shit out. I'm starting to feel the itch to go check these guys out in person.
People seem to like them. We sold the 30 that they shipped us in a few hours.

I saw them come in, and the next time I looked - wham! Gone.
Real nice handles on these. Interesting shape.
Priced for Christmas gifting, and then some

Re: Daovua Leaf Spring 240 Video
Thanks for poasting! Those guys have a rhythm going with that hammer, fun to watch. Seems like they are willing to make just about anything there’s a market for and they are evolving fast. There’s a big difference between your first batch and what they are doing now. The whole no shoes things still makes me chuckle...... I guess I’m “OSHA conditioned”. I hope your scratch that itch and document the trip!

Re: Daovua Leaf Spring 240 Video
I wonder what they could do with good equipment and good steel? It doesn't cost that much money to set up a proper workshop with a modern spring hammer and grinding wheel. They would probably need to import the steel. How many junked Russian jeep leaf springs could there be in Vietnam?

If they invested and had some guidance on what to make I bet it would pay off. They’re certainly capable.ChefKnivesToGo wrote: ↑Sun Dec 09, 2018 3:40 pm I wonder what they could do with good equipment and good steel?

If we start a knife maker VC fund, can we get paid in cash and knives?nakneker wrote: ↑Sun Dec 09, 2018 7:17 pmIf they invested and had some guidance on what to make I bet it would pay off.

Re: Daovua Leaf Spring 240 Video
I’m wishing I snagged a 240 even more now. Great vid. If we did a fund for them I think we should also get them chiropractic appointments. All that bending over makes my back hurt just watching :0

I love the background of the these knives.I have 2 so far and will probably buy more when I can. I don't use them as often as I should, but when I do, they are excellent.

Re: Daovua Leaf Spring 240 Video
These are really starting to look nice. I still haven't played with one, might have to pick up a 210 when they come in stock.
