Thread: Learning Jnats with Microscope

As in my previous post, I got my third Swedish Jernbolaget from Eskilstuna - 5/8" NW

After a bit of cleanig, yesterday I honed it, using some of the Tomos we're talking about in this thread. This is not part of the analytic comparison that I'm carrying on, anyway, it is always part of my progressive learning of Jnats. Hope it could be useful for other newbies, like me, in this fashinating world of Jnats.

Used 1 layer of tape

Sequence: King 1K -> Naniwa SS 3K -> Nakayama Kiita Koppa + Black Tsushima Nagura (2 rounds) -> Asano Mejiro Nagura -> Asagi Tomo Nagura -> Final Stropping

I jointed the bevel at start and after King 1K. Then, after each stone/nagura made 10 laps on canvas to see how it could be useful to straighten & polish the edge instead of light jointing. For what I can understand it doesn't seems bad.

Had to work a bit to get a consistent bevel along the whole blade, as the razor was slightly warped, but think to have got it. Finger and treetop tests passed. Tomorrow we'll see how it shaves.
