hi,
i was wondering if anyone could compile or point me towards a list (pictures are great) of all the different types of razor points and grinds. there's so many, i'd just like to see the options and find out what appeals to me.
also, in terms of grinds, what is the most wedge-like grind that can also be honed without having to hone the entire side of the blade down as well?
thanks
aaron
I'm not sure that they list the fabled Lou point.Quote:

and he forgot to give you a link to it.Quote:
