I absolutely love Dave Lyons knives, so much so that I'm not even tempted to try any other brand. I've been using them for three years now, they hold their edge very well, I never stone them, just strop. I recommend them very highly!
I have some Denny gouges and they are terrific, the little detail knife I had though I broke the tip off...perhaps that was more my bad technique than a poor blade! Really shouldn't use any knife to 'dig and pry' at the wood! :
