Thread: wapienica bent

I have watched the wapienica and I have observed that this very bent. You it has happened this?
It is possible to be solved somehow? I must make a balance movement?

Greetings

What is bent amigo? Is the blade bent or are the scales bent?

I have 5 wapi's and the blades look good. Some of the scales are bent. I intend to replace the scales with wood scales. I don't like the steel scales anyway. Poor balance and too heavy. The razor will be a vary good shaver with lighter scales.

Take care...

Sorry for me bad inglish.
The blade is not flat. Therefore it does not touch everything in the stone when sharpening.

Thanks for your help.

Use the X pattern to hone with the heel leading.

I search for heel leanding in forum.
RandyDance this explanation of x in this post is heel leading?

Wouldn't the heel leading (roll) be dependent on the type of concavity/convexity? If the edge has a smile, it would work. If the blade is bent, one side being concave and one side being convex, there should be no easy way to sharpen the razor until all the distortion is honed or ground out. Correct, or am I missing something here?? (often the case)
