All 8/8
Pretty, eh? There's an eighth one with acrylic scales to go in the pocket on the leather scabbard of my TI travel paddle.

They shave well, but are very light and extra hollow. John Crowley sends them out pretty sharp, and tells me he gets them to that point with a Norton 4k/8k then diamond spray. I touch them up with an Escher, then the Spyderco UF (lapped), then Flexcut Gold on an Illinois 827, then plain leather, and at that point they leave very little stubble even after a single downwards pass. I don't know who grinds them, but I have heard it is someone who moonlights from the Dovo factory. Some of them have imperfections in their grind, but if you refrain from looking too closely with a microscope, the shave isn't affected and what the eye doesn't see the heart doesn't grieve over!
