TheAsteritehonestly, just in terms of fairness i wouldn't use these dice, i would rather have a flat surface with a sharpie on number just so there is the most equal chance a number would land, opposed to once side having less material making it lighter so a 1 is a number that statistically comes up less. the other reason is dice like that can be very cheap, i think something like 10-20$ for a few hundred.
as for machined... i'm not sure, i know there are metal dice, just googled it, fully machined dice are all ridiculously expensive it seams.
wait, just looked at it some more, apparently the stone dice i like are also cnc machined, amethyst, jade, sandstone... these ones top out at around 70$ most being around 40...
now i'm interested to see what the cheapest machined die set is.
I have to agree with others. The dice look nice but the price seems overly high. You can get some Crystal Caste semi-precious gemstone dice cheaper than $80 (and most of them are cheaper than the MSRP of $130). I'm pretty sure even Q-Workshop has cheaper metal dice.
redsevnWell, given that they're CNC milled and not cast or 3D printed, there's not a lot you can do about that without vastly increasing the time of manufacture. It seems like this provider is dependable, but a small shop so they probably only have one or two machines to crank out dice on. The font is probably just the manufacturer using a ball end mill to get a nicely rounded bottom.
I'm interested to know how the odder polyhedrons are made and have their faces aligned. My initial guess is that they're cast (hence the soft edges) and the manufacturer has some custom clamp forms to make up for the non-flat sides.
