Everyone is free to do whatever they want, within reason. I, for one, would never buy anything from a site that advertised Nazi swastika emblems on the same page.

Yea, I noticed that after I was checking my links... I gather a lot of the stuff they sell is replica swords/armor/and such which includes some knockoff WW2 era helmets/decal with Nazi symbols, etc... I guess I'd put this in the same category of a hobby store that sells model WW2 Panzer III/IV tanks, etc - it's not an explicit endorsement of the concept, just a historical re-creation for collectors and such.
Then again, most of the hobby replicas I've seen of WW2 era German vehicles stick to the iron cross symbol versus swastikas given the justifiably inflammatory nature of Nazi symbolism/icons. The double whammy in this case seems to be that Dovo is in fact a German manufacturer... talk about a double fail of "if you're looking at this page you might also be interested in..." web advertising.

I can't see them... I have an ad blocker on, so I guess they are in the advertisements.
That's a whole lot less than we pay for 'em, so they must be doing something right!
I understand this sentiment, but they do sell lots of war replica items and several vintage style helmets, and the decals do go on the German helmets they carry. Nothing else on the site seems to indicate that the proprietors support Nazi views.
When you add shipping it jumps to $107, if you can set the bevel yourself, then it's still a pretty good deal. If not, SRD had these on sale for $129 shipped w/ lifetime honing. (Plus no nazi memorabilia to be found on their site)

The Dovo straight prices have gone the way of the swastika I guess .. maybe I am missing something, but even with that ship & unhoned the price is lower than I recall?
