    Do you just use the one contact wheel for the grind? I would have thought that a slightly curved (I mean very very slightly) platten might be more appropriate for the almost flat side of the kami but hell, what do I know?
    For the purpose of the 'almost flat' side, a 10" wheel is 'almost flat' if you're working on something that is only half an inch wide.

    Yes, you can. However, tool steel is so cheap that the savings in cost does not justify the additional work. Functionally, there is no reason to do this on a razor. You'd do it only for aesthetical purposes (or being historically accurate, but you'd use different steel) on things like razors.

    this must be the best forging video I have seen. It would be awesome if there were more details, but, still an amazing video and set of skills.

    I've not enjoyed a forging video for a LONG time. Thank you very much for the positioning of the camera you were using. It showed a LOT of detail and helps me personally on the things I still need to do differently when forging.

    I wish more smiths did it that way.

    Also....it gave me the urge to give forgewelding a try myself. Probably not for a little while that I'll try it. But at least now I feel like I might be able to succeed in it when I do.
