Daovua has been hard at work building a factory so they can improve the quality of their blades. They've also decided to make a new line of knives with more classic Japanese shapes with flatter profiles, improved sharpness and upgraded steel. Please note these are carbon steel knives and they will rust if you don't wash and towel dry after using.
