This post is for all of you Dovo owners. Show off that beautiful German blade you use and join The House of Prussia!
I'd start, but mine hasn't shown up yet.  |

Actually I thought it fit well....Otto Von Bismark was a Prussian Chancellor....the Prussians won the Franco-Prussian War (against the French), sort of a Dovo vs. TI kinda thing....both Prussia and Bismark were key players in the unification of the German Empire in 1871 (and, of course, in present day Germany is where Dovo's are made).

Bismarck. Prussia. Germany. This, that and the other. I always liked the name Prussia better than Germany, personally. |

Are we not men, we are Dovo!
I'm guessing others besides me have ventured to the Dovo website . . . www.dovo.com but if you have not, it's a nice visit.
