Great post. Thanks for sharing. I ordered the J-24 on Crush. I’m a big Jiashi fan. when I contemplated the options , however, I took a chance on the Vuleokldly because it came in horsehide and it had the red check wool lining like my Original Buco. No fur collar though. I wasn’t impressed with older Vuleokldly but the last one was right up there with Jiashi so rolled the dice. Coming any day . Will post a picture. One Question - you rated Double Helix 4/10 on hardware but said it was very good?

I rate your answer a 1.5/10.

-10/10. I guess asking for real information based on specific criteria is too hard b/c poor guy doesn’t even know what the criteria are.
Is the 1.5 you awarded based on the merit of “If you don’t know what you are talking about, say something defensive and stupid instead” approach? For that I award 1000/10.
