Thread: Iwasaki Kamisori Edge Restore

Onto the omote (front). Not so fast. Same stone & slurry with some Iyo slurry added for more aggressive cutting or so I thought


Plenty of muddy metal & razor sticking to the hone but too slow to clear the pits . Another odd thing the razor starts rusting as I hone . LOL.. All too slow & inconvenient so got the Ha no Kuromaku 2k This is the J. Shapton Pro but I'll call it HNK for brevity. Used the Atoma 400 for a bit of slurry & went for it
Set the bevel & cleared the pits in no time maybe 2-3x up & down the stone. A burr formed so fast I missed it happening. M'scope pics show the burr & how they sparkle in the right light. Last pic is at top end of magnification. Used a glass same as I would use my thumbnail & then moved to 5k. I just realised my fingers made bamboo trees in the slurry... I'm easily distracted sometimes
