Thread: Help Finishing a Warped TI

The razor will not sit flat on a wide stone so no point in using the whole stone to hone it, unless the warp is so minor that you can flatten the spine out enough to deal with it. Thing is, sometimes the warp is in the edge & not the spine.

Draw a pencil line 1" away & parallel from the edge of your hone & only hone on that area. You will need to rock & roll your x stroke to make contact but at 1k you should get both sides to meet altho the bevel width will vary.
Make sure the edge of your stone is smooth & chamfered also. Can you visualise what I mean ? The toe of the razor will make little if any contact with the opposite side of the stone.
