Why do you consider these photos to not show exactly how to hone them?

These instructions demonstrated with a tosuke kamisori suggest nearly 1.5 times more attention on the omote.

I can't fault you for a lack of link as i am too lazy to search for the one that goes with this series. Is there another besides this one and Mizuochi's.

On occasion I have minor trouble with my razors, however I still maintain that razor sharpening is just about as simple as it can get... so it's not that I disagree with you bigspender.

The point of this thread is to ask the rice cake maker
