Thread: Honing a new kamisori

Keep in mind that Kamisori are very easy to refresh, they just are..

However if they are not set up properly then all that goes out the window, and you can really mess them up fast..
There is IMHO only one trick to the Traditional setup, and that is learning that pressure shift..
The pressure shifts from the bevel to the spine depending on how you are honing it..

For clarity I only hone them the traditional way, just like I show in my vid, I have not messed with the other ways to be able to give any advice on them.. I guess it also might depend on how the Honer did the setup originally, you might be trying to reverse the entire edge
