I wouldn't know about the angle of the grind, but it sounds like I'm not the only one who's experienced the futility of honing the bevels flat on the hone, as the seller recommends. I'll let you know how it shaves...

Also thanks for the correction - I used "Tensui" because the seller's page refers to "the blacksmith, Tensui". Good to know his real name is Takami. But who is Takashi? (I was born in Tokyo and some of my first words were Japanese, but I don't remember any of it.)
Denis,
Sorry i haven't replied yet.
Takashi (or is it Takeshi? Can't rememnber) is the guy in charge at Aframestokyo. It's not a language thing, he's using a very odd alternative reading for the kanji in the name he chose. Anyone who just saw the name would read it Tensui, but he says it's Takami.
That's probably the reason you couldn't find info on my blog, too.

I must say, I'm glad and surprised you could get an edge on it. I've given up, and the other readers of my blog appear to have as well.
