Thread: Need honing advice for my 2nd kamisori

Hello there,

My first kamisori was a blunt object when I got it. Now after watching gssixgun's videos and the fantastic advice provided it with an edge with which I can have a nice shave.

I have purchased a second one off eBay and it's slightly different to what I expected and am used to.

Pictures are attached. The flat side has the engraved writing on it. The other side is convex as opposed to concave and has two flat edges.

The question is: what is it and which side should be hone - facing to do the greater number of laps? Once I've got that nailed down I'll be fine and dandy, it's just thrown me a bit.

I also need to clean up the handles of both of my kamisori one day...
