Thread: advice needed

How about circles alternately with some back and forth strokes ? Use a bit more pressure than you normally would. Just check it often to see if you're getting anywhere.

I've tryed circles and back an forth strokes no joy I will try again to morrow patience needed i guess its just the nats egde but enough to not let it get sharp in that area good thing is i worked out why but not sure on how to tackle it i guess keep honing untill it gets there but it may never .

I've just done some serious circles and back and forth on dmt1200 to speed things up a bit then gone back naniwa 1k and it as cracked it that part now grips my thumb where as before thumb slid freely plus marker has gone took a long while though.

Never say never

what would be the cause of the problem ? would it of been the spine not being right or just the bevel needed more honing untill the edge reached the hone

IME & IMO all that damage is due to someone lifting the spine from the hone and honing it that way. I don't think they had electrical tape back then. And thus, you get all sorts of inconsistencies and problems.

Research: And apparently they did not! 1946 was when it became commercially available. Also, I remember reading a post by Lynn stating he thinks the taping thing started with TZ.

I never use tape but its weird how just one section could be apain in the arse the good thing is i picked up on it but it took a long time to remove the marker on the very edge the bevel was formed but the very cutting edge in one section was just not making contact at least if i come across this problem again i will have a good idea how to tackle it.
