Just like honing any Kamisori. I am not a stickler for how many times per side. I usually start with 10:1 Omote:ura and just as I go bring it closer down till I get to about 3:1 and even 1:1 for last few. These are just really old versions made by old sword smiths I believe. You don't see them too much either. I tried to figure out the kanji, but even with the help of the masters here didn't get to much. Could be old out dated kanji. Best info on these comes from Fikira on here. Here is a post and part way down a link to his page with more info on these. http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...-kamisori.html
