Steve,
The reason I used the term "heard" is because when I was looking at one of their knifes at a farrier supply store, a person said to me that they had bought one and were disapointed with the quality and that it wouldn't hold an edge. When they said this to me, I heard it, therefore I used the term "heard".
In addition I know one of the people involved with the company, and could not recomend his character.
Your point about GE and Diamond tools is well taken. A good craftsman can do fine work with poor tools, and the best tools can't save some of us.
