Duck on the kiita.


Also dropped my puma 350 earlier this week left a 2-3 mm chip I was able to take out. Finished it on the kiita above, it took a nice edge. Did some mid work on the okudo. It is a hair under 5/8 still so still an awesome size for me.

Big uns and Lil uns.

Type 100 unknown mine jnat w/two nagura
Hone on!

1K thru 12K Naniwa's.
Getting better all the time! Still takes me forever though.

Sorry for the fingerprints. Ha.

This Kamijo came in in a rough shape. The rust went down to the bevel and the toe has been honed more than the heel. I started with 1K chosera but eventually switched to Atoma till I got nice and clean steel. I had hard time setting a good bevel but eventually the 1200 Atoma did the job. Cleaned the striae on a suita and then did a tenjou-mejiro-koma and 2 tomo progression on this very hard Hatanaka stone. The front and the back of the stone look completely different so I only sealed the sides. Very happy with the shave.

Hi all, I usually finish on my green thuringian or my shobu but i thought i would raise a slurry with my thuri and finish on the suehiro 20k. stropped on kanayama 70k and will test shave this razor tomorrow morning!
first time trying this combo and will see how it goes......
