Thanked: 3215It is not a problem, it is the nature of the grind (blade thickness) and shape (warp) of the razor from heat treating. Notice the wear mark on the Shinogi (grind ridge) back of the grind, that it mirrors the shape of the grind of the bevel.
Rare that a bevel, is perfectly even in width.
Nice looking razor.

how does it shave? sometimes the geometry is just jacked so you may always have a wonky looking bevel, but that does not translate to a non shaving edge. some honing gymnastics and strategically placed tape can help line it out too. but really it doesn't matter as long as you get the edge right that is what shaves you, some of the blade smiths out there have some grinding problems Tc

Very cool kami, as long as it shaves well no worries but if it bothers you put one layer of tape on the spine and use finger point pressure to even it out and then finish with regular strokes, Glen has a very good vid on this.

Thank you, I would feel a whole lot better getting it straightened out. You wouldn't happen to have a link or title to glens video would you?

Thanked: 3795The width of the bevel is due the thickness of the grind. You can alter the aesthetics of the bevel by that altered honing method but it will not correct the underlying cause. The width of the bevels has no impact on its performance. It is just matter of how the bevels meet to form the edge. In my opinion you would be better off leaving it as it is.
