I've been eyeing a few straights recently to add to the collection
After reading about and seeing some marvelous items i have narrowed it down to a few.
Here goes in random order.
1 Dovo grenadille flowing 6/8. Very nice geometry. don't like the etching to much.
2 Wacker Chevalier 6/8. just a beauty. comes with nice horn scales
3 Ralf Aust 6/8. frech cut with worked spine, also with horn scales
4 Wacker Best Tradition. also 6/8 with horn scales. i think this one haz a very little smile to it. A'm i right ?
As far as prices go. They pretty much cost the same. Cheapest 195, and 240 for the chevalier.
I kinda ruled out the Dovo because my first dovo wasnt grinded al that precise. Witch resulted in a kinda ugly bevel.
So ..... what would u guy's pick and why? Also, suggestions very welcome
