They go out of their way to say this isn't the case on their website. Why do you think it isn't true?
He never really gives any specific background on the development and details on the blade manufacturing. People want to know the manufacturer and where these are made. I haven't heard a word besides claims of smoothness and sharpness. I am surprised he did not claim they last longer than Personna 74's. I buy and enjoy PAA products but I take everything he says with a grain of salt.
