8/8 Kamisori

I have a couple of Kamisori to do but they are wedge grinds.
While I was waiting for them to temper, I thought I would practice my asymmetrical grinding.
I didn't really have a plan for the design, I just let it come to me as I was working on it.
I think she came out really well and she shaves very nice.

Brian, that one looks like I need to test shave it!!!
Looks really good. You are really getting me to think about more. Tempting...tempting...

Brian,
Nice work :tu...Love the jimps. Who is the lucky owner?:nj

This one was just a tester...lol
Just to kind of get a feel for it and see how she worked.

that is gorgeous... i love the fact is "american" sized....

Oh yeah, that I like. Very nicely executed. What steel did you use Brian?

That looks awesome. Brian, I look forward to your posts, because with every one there is a visible progression in your level of skill. It's awesome to be a bystander and watch.

Thanks,

And just wait for the right time to order one :rofl2:

Joking aside, Brian, the other day I was looking trough the razors you've posted the last months, and the progression you've had is amazing.

This one is no exeption, a great looking razor, keep it up!

Lovely! I have two waiting to be heat treated, but after looking at yours, I may just use them for paint can openers. What size wheel did you use for the grind? Did you use the same diameter on both sides? Did you hone them like a traditional Kamisori?

Very nice, simple elegance to that one. Thanks for sharing Brian.

WOW! Love the thumb notch, awesome work Brian!

Just plain old 1095, nothing fancy but works well every time

If I looked at it that way, I would never have tried...lol
I used a 8" & 4" wheel. I started it like a typical honing until the bevel was pretty close to set. Then switched to the traditional Kamisori honing style from there to the finish.

Lovely blade. Looks like it would be nothing other than fun to use.

What a great hobby. Kamisoris were on my mind and voila, and no sooner do I think about it, I see one made by a fine craftsman such as you.

Did you use tape when you honed
