Thread: Grinding western into kamisori

OK thanks for clearing that up. I thought maybe I could make a mock kamisori. I guess not

you will have to start from a bar of steel and grind it to shape

Go, for it. What’s the worst that could happen?

Probably a Kamisori, shaped object, will be a bit of work though.

You would end up with a microtome. Flat on one side hollow on the other.

Kamisori are double hollow ground, microtomes are flat on one side.

And that is exactly what I said.

Solitary, have you ever shaved with a kamisori? I see them on ebay for little $$, was thinking about getting a couple to hone on for the experience.

Whatever you do, Have fun.

I reread your post, I got what you were saying. That reground result would be 5mm or so wide, it will not be very useful for anything.
