Iwasaki Kamisori Edge Restore
This is the follow up honing from this thread Iwasaki Kamisori Repair/Restore
I thought it more appropriate to post here as I have a ton of pics (30+) & this is a bit more of an advanced honing topic.
I think it'll take me about 10 or so posts to lay out all the pics. Hopefully it all flows together ok.
Lots microscope pics too.
Ok so this is all post cosmetic restoration.
Decided to set the ura (back) first. Wanted it fine & small so used za sto-orn I got last November. When So, aka Japan-tool moved up the north coast he dropped it in for me & I've been learning it ever since. It's a very aggressive but very fine Yaginoshima Asagi. I haven't shaved off it yet but it's on the cards. It was from So's collection & came from Hatanaka san but maybe I'll review it another time. Gotta type this honing up while it's fresh in my mind.
First 2 pics are bevel near toe. Ura (back) first,some micro pits above the bevel. Omote (front) second. Nasty pits within the bevel:(
