Thread: From Argentina

Bruno, thanks for your comments, the 4:1 ratio is for kamisoris too?
Thanks in advance

I am not an expert on them. I prefer western grind. I've handled only a couple kamisori. From what I can tell, the ones I've held had that ration too. Of course, because the grind is different, that doesn't mean that the spine is still 6 mm thick. I think it would be more correct to say that the 4:1 ratio is valid in the sense that in order to have a good geometry, you use a bar of stock that is 4:1 to create the kamisori that fits inside that bar.

Was that understandable or did I sound like gibberish?

Perfect !! thanks. I only see kamisoris in pics!!Next saturday will put hand on and show more pics

Thanks again

The 5160 blank after a few hammer time...

almost finished, one traditional, the other most western style.
The first need some tunning in the shape and angles
The western need clean, polish and sharp

all comments and suggestions are welcome

I find them interesting. Can't wait to see them finished and find out how they shaved. Thought the Kamisori's thumb notch was unique.

a few more work with waterstone
